A HYMN FOR AIRMEN
Our Father, whose unerring sight,
Our Father, whose unerring sight,
Regards the eagle in its flight,
Watch o’er the craft that wings its way
Where storm clouds lower and dangers play.
Grant wisdom for the trying hour,
Sustain the spirits’ hidden power,
To heavenward thought attend thine ear
And manifest Thy presence near.
And may our airmen come to be
The messengers of harmony,
To haste Thy kingdoms glad increase,
And usher in the age of peace.
Remember those who fondly yearn,
For those who never will return;
May skill prevail till every plane,
Comes safely to its part again.
The author of the poem must have been a joy to be around because even her granddaughter Shirley is just so much fun to talk to on the phone. Shirley got the “History Bug” and has never stopped adding to her web site.

The definition of “Airmen”
Airman may refer to: *Airman, a term which describes a person serving in an air force or other military aviation service. *For civilian and generic usage, see Aviator
Also the granddaughter Shirley said, “I can even remember your grandmother playing a tiny apartment piano and hear her singing along”
I loved hearing Shirley say this because I never heard my grandmother play a single note- why I do not have an answer but I can remember her speaking voice… I cherish the fact that I was able to find Shirley through her web site and talk to somebody that knew my grandparents!
