Remembering his father

GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. -- Scott Grissom, son of fallen astronaut Lt. Col. Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, speaks of his father's love for flying during a base rededication ceremony here Sept. 30. The base was renamed from Bunker Hill Air Force Base to Grissom AFB in 1968 during a similar ceremony that Grissom attended in 1968. Colonel Grissom was one of America's original seven astronauts, the first American to fly two missions into space, and tragically lost his life during an Apollo 1 training mission.
