John Glenn’s Final Send Off

Family and friends are gathering at Arlington National Cemetery to say their final goodbyes to astronaut and Senator John Glenn. He died at the age of 95, after being the first American to orbit Earth. Public mourning events took place in his home state of Ohio, but the interment in Arlington is a private event for a more personal memorial. The U.S. Marine Corps will live stream parts of the memorial, which includes the procession by caisson, a flyover, and a graveside service. NASA TV will also air the memorial.
