In respect for the memory of former astronaut and U.S. senator John Glenn, Gov. Paul R. LePage has directed the United States flag and the State of Maine flag to fly at half-staff immediately until sunset on the day of his interment on Thursday, Dec. 15.
“John Glenn was a true American hero,” said LePage. “He was a great astronaut, a great warrior, and a great legislator who worked tirelessly for this country.”
