I remember being at a Boy Scout camp one time when some Apollo astronauts were on the moon. I remember looking up there and thinking, "Wow, men are walking around up there." Me too. I was attending the BSA National Jamboree in Couere d'Lene, Idaho during the Apollo 11 moon landing. Remember it very very well.

Glenn earned two DFCs in two wars. And his Project Bullet was quite the deed. Glenn was everything Chuck Yeager tried to be and never was. Besides being an exceptional pilot with nerves of steel he was an exceptional human being as well.
And for all you geeks out there, remember the old Thunderbirds kids TV show? The pilots of that show were named after the original Mercury 7 astronauts.
