I planned to post this before this surprise in honor of my son, David, who is supposed to be home tomorrow! Now it is also a thanks and God Bless to the Canteen!


HIGH FLIGHT

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
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 windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand and touched the face of God.


~~~~Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee~~~~
Killed 11 December 1941



GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY
GOD BLESS AMERICA
COME HOME SAFELY, DAVID

WELCOME HOME DAVID!
 
Thank God you're home David.
I was getting tired of having to share *chocolates* with your Mama. It ain't fun always sharing the chocolate stash. So? Would you buy her some chocolate? Thank you!!

Here's a song that is absolutely appropriate for you?

Thank you for your service to America. Thank God you're out there getting the job done. God help America if MoJo had to defend us.

Actually, if that was the case. Half of the world wouldn't exist.
