And They Shall Forever More,
Fly Like the Eagles.

They paid the ultimate price....they knew that freedom is not free.....their names will be forever etched in the hearts and minds of those who survive them and we will not forget them or their gallant efforts. In Memoriam.........

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 sunsplit 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 even 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.
