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

Tell your son "Welcome home!" and thanks for a job well-done!
Too bad Crawford isn't closer to Odessa or I WOULD stop by and say "hi"--I'm really looking forward to the rally but don't know how I'll deal with that Texas heat...it gets hot here, but Texas is another story!
Our troops are worth it :-)

More prayers from the great state of Texas for David and his family.
