To all my classmates that never made it back. My wife wrote this memorial poem for our 35th reunion.

Absent Sir

One in solemn silence
Reflective and subdued
Sustained by vivid memories
Ah, the gallant years of youth.

Four years at USAFA
Rendered victory, we knew fear
Through trials and tribulation
As One, we persevered.

Tapped for the task to lead
Bestowed with honor we served
Emerged as Air Force officers
Precious freedom we preserved.

Brilliant bars of gold and silver
Gilded oak leaves, shiny stars
Decorations of achievement
Speak not to who we are.

Musty are our uniforms
Tarnished is the brass
Unified as One we come
To celebrate this class.

Blissful their ascension
Splendor as they soared
Farewell my fellow comrades
You’ve bravely gone before.

Fledglings into falcons
We’re never far apart
Absent Sir shall echo
Through the chambers of our heart

To those who have served,
those who have fought,
and those who have died...
my hat is off,
my head is bowed,
thank you.

I just got back from Red River I stopped at the memorial as always. :cry:

This is all I have to say either stand behind our troops or stand in front of them!
