As written by Chaplain Ward Fellows:

In Memorium, Members of the 401st Bomb Group

Final Mission

You took off, into the lightning English sky,
Where often you had ridden
The wide reaches of the air and felt its amplitude.

Though we waited for the call-sign long,
Watching while others circled and set down,
This time you did not return.

You flew a further mission,
Beyond even the fringes of the blue,
Into the ultimate arms of God.

I hope you feel our respect and gratitude all the way up in heaven...today and always,

Josie

You beat me to it. Good job, Josie. 🙂

To all our vets, past, present and future: thank you for all you have done, are doing and will do! May we always be worthy of your sacrifices!

Well said, for all who have served and for those who have given their lives for what we have today......
