| REMEMBER * 72 were killed including three pilots * 31 Died immediately * 28 that died were hit by debris *16 died later of serious injuries * 500 were Injured * Thousands witness tragedy * There were Countless heros Those of us who witness tragedy often wonder why we were spared and so many others were not. Maybe...we are left behind to make sure others remember...and to make sure we never forget.  HIGH FLIGHT Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I have 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 untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. ---Written by young Canadian pilot, John Gillespie McGee-- (This poem is filled with his own love of flight-- he died in an accident while flying his SPITFIRE on December 11, 1941, at Tangmere, England...) |
