“the last true national hero
America has ever had.”*
"Colonel John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016) was a United States Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut, and United States Senator from Ohio."
This simple three line paragraph does not begin to recognize the enormity of this man's life and career, and the many contributions he made to this country. (The wikipedia footnote linked below, is a good place to begin discovering the monumental achievements of this ONE, TRUE AMERICAN HERO).
"In 1962, he became the first American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times." **
A Real American Hero
Regretfully, very few Americans
remember the heroic life of this man.
And maybe even fewer payed tribute to his
unique accomplishments, and legacy.
But, keep in mind, Senator John Glenn never publicly proclaimed his hatred for the current President of the United States, Donald Trump.
