John Glenn, Legendary American, Dies at 95

When the news broke the other day that John Glenn had died, I thought it was sad, but that he'd lived a full life until the ripe old age of 95.

What a kind and decent man, I thought.

It wasn't until I watched CBS This Morning's review of his life when I shook my head and said, "Damn, the dude's a freakin' American hero!"

Really, just wow.

And below is the New York Times obituary:
