John Glenn said his childhood was like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, but his life was anything but typical. From flying combat missions over Korea and the South Pacific as a Marine Corps aviator to a post-orbit splashdown in the Atlantic, he’d come a long way from small-town Ohio by the time his constituents elected him to serve in a different capacity — something they would do many times over the course of Senator Glenn’s congressional service. Elaine and I send our condolences to Annie and the rest of the Glenn family.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
