Tribute
Aviator’s Requiem
How High stand the Fallen
How Low lie the bereaved?
But let us not allow our sorrow
To surpass the Greatness of Their Lives
Let not our Grief
diminish the remembrance
of Their Strength of Spirit
and all They achieved
Permit a cherished moment
To Equal the joy They brought to others
A Love held in memory
Or across the Unknown Distance
Exceeds all others
And Lives Forever
Let the record of Their path
On and above this Earth
Be made indelible; infallible; incredible
Take Solace
In a Brotherhood that Knows
No borders, insignia, or livery
They would offer You the same:
Fare well, my Friend. We will meet again
