John Glenn Senate Career
Howard Metzenbaum challenged John Glenn during their run for state senate by stating John Glenn never held a real job. Metzenbaum goal was to make Glenn seem non-relatable to the "average workingman." By this time, John Glenn was an accomplished Marine Corps combat pilot, and the first American to orbit the earth. This video was John Glenns response. | Veteran With A Sign
