“John Glenn was an American hero whose legendary life inspired generations. Through his service to his country as a Marine who fought bravely in two wars, an astronaut who courageously orbited the Earth while America looked towards the stars, and a Senator who led the fight against nuclear proliferation John Glenn’s pioneering spirit left an indelible mark on Earth and in the heavens. Amy and my thoughts are with Annie Glen, their children, grandchildren, and all those who are celebrating Senator Glenn’s life and mourning his loss.”
