Annie Glenn lived in the shadows of her husband's fame but became an inspiration to many by overcoming chronic stuttering.

"
Before shipping out for combat in the South Pacific on a cold January morning in 1944, John held Annie tightly, searching for the right words.
“I’m just going down to the corner store to get a pack of gum,” he said.
“Don’t be long,” she whispered, and from that day on she kept a gum wrapper in her purse. "

Beautiful love story

Contrary to what Happygolucky says on the debate board, I am a Trump supporter who has voted for more Democrats than Republicans in my voting life. I would have voted for John Glenn for president and supported him in his 1983 presidential primary run. It is too bad that political centrists are extinct in the Democratic Party today. Would that we would see men and women with his integrity and sense of honor running for president again. I doubt that we will see it from either party, but certainly not the Democratic Party as radical as it is now.
