Glenn did much more for America than against it. Of the Mercury 7, I only met two (Wally Schirra and Alan Shepard) so I can't speak to John Glenn as a person. I've never understood why true American heroes like Glenn and McCain turned to what we now think of as the "Dark Side" and became Democrats, but I suspect that it was the D Party that approached them first. More shame to the Republicans, in my view. Not the men.
Glenn was a Marine, a fighter pilot, a combat veteran and hero, an astronaut, and a Senator. It does not befit any of us to belittle him as a man. Because he was more of a man than any of us.
Very well stated!! Thanks….
