Flags at City of Mission Viejo buildings will be flying at half-staff for the next few days in memory of John Glenn, the pioneering astronaut and long-serving senator who died Thursday at the age of 95.
The traditional order was given today in a proclamation from President Barack Obama. The half-staff order applies until sunset on the day of Glenn's interment, the timing of which has not yet been announced.
