Delray Beach-More Than an Astronaut

The word hero is thrown around too much these days, however, John Glenn...Mercury Astronaut, test pilot, U.S. Senator, oldest person to go into space (at 77), and service in World War II and the Korean War certainly would have qualified.

I don't know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets.

John Glenn

 

 

John Glenn passed away December 8, 2016 at the age of 95.  Just having been one of the above would have been enough for most of us. But look at all that he attempted and achieved.

I'm not interested in my legacy. I made up a word: 'live-acy.' I'm more interested in living. John Glenn

You should run your life not by the calendar but how you feel, and what you're interests are and ambitions.

I think if each of us could accomplish just 10% of John Glenn did in his life, we'd have a pretty awesome world!

I agree Kathleen Daniels there are certain individuals whose life energies will always be with us. 

Myrl Jeffcoat you said it.  And don't stop just because your birth certificate says you're a certain age.
