RIP John Glenn. I just got the push on my phone a few minutes ago. He was a good and honorable man who served his country well.

A true American hero and the last of the Mercury 7 astronauts. 149 missions in WWII and Korea. Rest In Peace, Sir!

Yes, a true American Hero left Earth today for the last time, taking with him a large payload of gratitude and admiration from many around the world.

RIP, John Glenn
