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 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. By John G. Magee, Jr.

I joined the Army on 31 October 1966 alongside Jerry. We went to basic training together, and attended flight school together. Jerry arrived in Vietnam a few weeks ahead of me and was killed before I arrived. Jerry kept a daily diary of his military carreer. He showed me it on the airplane as he entered my name on page one. I've often wondered what became of his diary. It would be a very important account of a young man's journey in preparation for war. I now live only a few miles from his home town. I don't know where he is buried. God rest my freind.
