John Glenn was an American hero.
When I was in 7th grade, we listened to the spaceman from Ohio prove to us a man could blast off, circle the world and come home safe. Our young Ohio chests were inflated with buckeye pride.
I close my eyes today and my mind takes me back to that day of “Godspeed John Glenn” in 1962.
Of course, he went on to serve our country in space and the U.S.Senate for decades after then before his death three years ago. He met his wife Annie when they were toddlers and they remained devoted to each other until she buried him in 2017. This week, Annie returned to his side after passing away from Covid-19. Godspeed Annie Glenn!
RIP Annie Glenn (1920-2020)
