About this work

The traditional firing of three volleys each by seven service members is carried out to honor former astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn at his interment Thursday, April 6, 2017 at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Glenn was the first American to orbit Earth on Feb. 20, 1962, in a five-hour flight aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft. In 1998, he broke another record by returning to space at the age of 77 on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Photo Credit: (NASA/Aubrey Gemignani)
