Here's to your father.

Off we go into the wild blue younder,
climbing high into the sun,
here they come, zooming to meet our thunder;
at 'em boys, give 'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
off with one Hell-of-a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force!
My PopPop was AF, and my brother is currently. Big salute from me.
