A TIME FOR COURAGE

...AND WHAT OF THE AIRCREW, THE FLYERS, THE ONES WHO LEFT
THEIR BURNT BONES OVER ALL EUROPE? IN THOSE YOUNG MEN WE
MAY DISCERN THE MANY FACES OF COURAGE, THE CONSTITUTION
OF HEROES, IN LONELY COCKPITS AT DIZZY ALTITUDES.

...QUARTERING THE TREACHEROUS AND LIMITLESS SEA,
SEARCHING THE DESERTS HOSTILE GLARE,...BRUSHING THE PEAKS OF HIGH MOUNTAINS,...IN THE FEROCITY OF LOW LEVEL ATTACK,
OR THE LONG, TENSE HAUL OF A BOMBING MISSION... IN FOG,...IN
DEADLY COLD, IN STORM,...ON FIRE,...IN A PRISON CAMP, IN A SKIN
GRAFTING HOSPITAL. THERE WAS NO PROUDER PLACE OR TIME...
NONE DESERVING MORE HONOR THAN THIS,...A TIME FOR COURAGE.
