I was a 10-year-old children when they donated me a book called Mercury Project.
On those pages I met the seven astronauts of the program. Glenn immediately became my hero. Today, two years after his death, I want to pay tribute to him with my affectionate remembrance.
Rest in peace Ancient Pioneer of the space.

We from from the Central State University's Research Office of the Land-Grant Program would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Honorable John Glenn. His untiring support for Science,Technology, Engineering and mathematics (STEM) education has benefited many underrepresented, first generation college students at Central State University and other places. His support has paved the way for numerous scientific discoveries and many technological advances. He was a very kind Senator and was very dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans. My God Bless his family and friends at this time of sorrow.

I am sorry for your loss. I know the loss of a family can be sad but there is a hope for those who have died to be resurrected in the 'new system' also known as paradise. God will remember all those who have died, if he can name all the stars than he can remember our names even those who have died. May you and your family soon feel better again. Never look back and always keep moving forward.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Senator Glenn. My husband, myself and my son were honored to meet him and his precious wife. What a wonderful and memorable experience it was. My husband purchased the Beech Baron from Mr. Glenn and we made the trip up to Dayton to have him and Annie sign the plane. A couple of years later my husband passed. I still have the plane and cherish the memories from the time the Glenns flew it and the short time my husband enjoyed it. May God and wonderful memories bring comfort to Annie, his family, and dear friends.

Inspired to serve. Thank you for your service, John Glenn
I was 6 years old when I watched Frienship 7 with John Glenn orbited the earth. I told my mom I was going to name my baby after him. I kept my promise. Glenn was born in 1976 followed by his brother John in 1981. I am so proud I named my children after a real American hero. God's speed John Glenn. Blessed prayers for your family.

In honor of this American hero, all of the flags in Huntsville, Alabama are at half-staff.
He honored our town for its contribution to space exploration and we honor him for his contribution to the USA.
"God Speed, John Glenn. "
He said that a power greater than himself would get him home safely.
And He did.

John Glenn was a true American, and hero that any generation would be lucky to have as a standard to look up too as a youngster or any age. I still remember watching his orbital flight in 1962, and when I heard he was thinking of training to go up on the Space Shuttle, I sent him a message at his Senate office and told him to "Go for it!" I am glad he did. I never had the opportunity to meet him in person as I had with Gus Grissom and later Alan Shepard. But in his life's work I feel that I did. May God bless you as you say your final farewell to him in this life, and I am sure he is smiling down on all of you and this nation.
