Frack, an American hero gone.  Saw that he was in the hospital, hoped he'd pull through.  RIP Colonel/Senator Glenn :(

Rest in peace, John.

Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

That would be my luck. Walking into Heaven to see everybody that's been waiting for me there, and John Glenn shows-up. Sorry Slash. Just get in line behind him. R.I.P. John.

Damn. I was sincerely hoping he would recover.  :(

Rest in Peace, sir.

I don't have many heroes.

He was one of them.

RIP Colonel Glenn.

He did run for President but lost-out to Fritz Mondale. His campaign slogan was, "Anybody messes with America, I'll put them in orbit". Sorry John. I just couldn't resist.   :hide:
