john glenn's 50th anniversary of his space / flight / orbit

[tom d. friedman]

i wish astronaut / u.s. marine fighter pilot / senator, john glenn all the best in the world on the milestone of his life 50 years ago. i can't think of to many people who have given so much to their country other than our fallen in combat. god speed & god bless indeed!!

I was late for high school that day, I waited until he'd launched and was in space before I finally left the house, just went ahead and took the attendance hit for missing home room.

Watched his flight go up from the front yard of my high school in Orlando, FL.
