AVENGER FIELD
They built and named you, not for me,
But for Cadets whose wings would soar
In Freedom's cause, across the seven seas.
I wonder if you feel that you have lost
Your heritage of glory, when I came?
Or do you feel that I've a small part, too,
When frenzied war encircles all the earth?
I go, not to avenge, but to release
For sterner duty those whose wings will spread
Across the skies, in ever greater numbers,
Until the day when peace is won, and we
Can build again a world
More free from tyranny and hate.
To fight in Freedom's cause is not mny lot:
To serve to add my strength to theirs
Who give their all;
To fly; to do my part
Is all I ask, Avenger Field.
--EFFIE PR AT T.
