High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; [rotorwings]
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
— John Gillespie Magee, Jr
---O the promising young men we have lost
WWI & II, Korea Nam Irac Afgan, the dear cost
---all to keep our freedoms and safety here
lest we forget the lives lost for what we hold dear...
