John Glenn on the Military

Many people do not understand the need for the military and as such do not understand the military. Senator Metzenbaum showed his ignorance when he asked Senator John Glenn, "How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?"
In reply John Glenn gave the following impromptu speech.
--------------------------------------------------------------
John Glenn:

"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank."

"I ask you to go with me .. as I went the other day... to a veteran's hospital and look those men with their mangled bodies .. in the eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a job!

You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee... and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their DADS didn't hold a job.

You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than I'd like to remember, and! you watch those waving flags

You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

What about you?"

-------------------------------------------

Note: Howard Metzenbaum was one of the attorneys that represented the Communist Party in America during W.W. II

- - - Since he's become a Senator!
