A Fighter Pilot's Christmas
At some desperate point along the way to the illusive 100th mission, each one of us stops and asks the profound question, "What am I doing here? Here I am with the finest education in the world, a half-million dollars worth of aviation skill, and a citizen in the world's most progressive society. I must be out of my mind to stake all that against the uncertainty of one more mission." Well, it's the same question asked by other fighter jocks in other wars; and it's the same answer, too.
I'll tell you the reasons: Mom's apple pie, home, the Stars and Stripes, baseball, the girl back home, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus...
[snipped]
- Merry Christmas, Mom; Merry Christmas, Dad
Merry Christmas to my love
Merry Christmas to the sweetest little girls
That ever came from God above
Wish I could be home with the ones I love
It's a long time since I've gone
Santa take this heart of mine
And tie it up with bows and twine...
