Description: In this photograph, U.S. President John F. Kennedy looks over his shoulder at John Glenn. The camera angle is low, looking up at four figures in a crowd and at the blue, slightly cloudy sky. Lyn Glenn (left) and Annie Glenn (right) walk between them. The photograph was taken during the ceremony where President Kennedy awarded Glenn with the NASA Distinguished Service Medal for Glenn's successful Friendship 7 mission. The John and Annie Glenn collection is comprised of photographs, slides, books and ephemera documenting the career of John Glenn as an astronaut and U.S. Senator. The collection also documents his life with his wife Annie Glenn née Castor, family and friends, such as Robert and Ethel Kennedy and fellow astronauts. View on Ohio Memory.
