Skip Davenport Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Saw this from Ernie ODE TO THE HERCULES AVIATOR by Bob Woods Do not stand at my Tomb and weep for me I am not there for I do not sleep you see I am the thousands of Hercs that fly I am the roar of the wind on high I am the rush of a Herc in powered flight I am the beacons that shine in the night I am the odor of jet fuel and the starter whine I am the tire squeal on a landing, that was mine I am the stars that shine at night I am the sun you see at first light I am the jeweled glints on rime covered wings Think of me kindly for I am all these things At my graveside you should not have cried For so long as Hercs fly, I have not died.

US Herk Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Skip - that was posted in honor of MSgt Lynn Howard who passed away after a very brief battled with brain cancer. She was set to retire this fall. She will be missed. I swiped it from Bob Woods over on the old board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
