Blue Four

Blue Four

Sad, heroic, and true a thousand times over. Blue Four is an American tradition as real as the flag. In a flight of four fighters—Blue Flight—he is the youngest, least experienced, low man on the totem pole, fourth in command. For all these reasons, in battle he is the most exposed, his position the most precarious, his life expectancy shortest of the four. [Snipped]

There's a fireball clown there on the hillside
And I think maybe we've lost a friend
But we'll keep on flyin'
And we'll keep on dyin'
For duty and honor never end

There's an upended glass on the table
Down in front of a lone empty chair
Yesderday we were with him
Today God be with him
Wherever he is in your care
