“I must go back,
Back to do my part,
Back to fly and give again;
And I am not afraid.
My plane may be shot away;
But I shall not fall,
For I have wings –
Wings not of wood or steel or stuff,
But wings of a firmer kind –
Wings God gave my soul.
Thank God for wings.”
-Major George Preddy (February 5, 1919–December 25, 1944)
