[Vol Texan]

His legend is other-worldly and now, at age 95, that’s where John Glenn has gone.

An authentic hero and genuine American icon, Glenn died this afternoon surrounded by family at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus after a remarkably healthy life spent almost from the cradle with Annie, his beloved wife of 73 years, who survives.

He, along with fellow aviators Orville and Wilbur Wright and moon-walker Neil Armstrong, truly made Ohio first in flight.

The final flight of "The MiG Mad Marine", may he rest in peace.

Godspeed, John Glenn.

John Glenn was a great American - Husband, father, Marine, aviator, Korean war veteran, test pilot, astronaut, Senator and citizen.
RIP Colonel Glenn.

The last of the "Right Stuff" astronauts. A remarkable life and true American hero. Didn't agree with his politics, but respect him nonetheless.

He was a democrat which is the only negative but a big one in my book.

I put From the Earth to the Moon and The Right Stuff in my netflix queue. Yes, he was a gun grabber, but an undeniable American hero. His political career was the least of his achievements - think about how rare that is for a politician.
