:: Land of the Free and Home of the Brave

Most everyone has something that they are fiercely passionate about. Aside from raising as much awareness for Cystic Fibrosis as I am capable, I am also a hardcore, proud supporter of our American armed forces. No particular branch...Just lovin' me some soldiers :) I am blessed to know many members of the military, past and present, and I can think of no act more unselfish and brave than to sacrifice their freedom to protect ours.

So in honor of Memorial Day and our troops: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

And in honor of all of the fallen soldiers, the sacrifices they've made and the families and friends they've left behind:


  
All I ever wanted to do was fly...
 Leave this world and live in the sky. 
I left the C130 out of Fort Worth town;
 I go up some days and don't wanna come down.

I fly that plane called the Angel Flight; 
"Come on brother, you're with me tonight." 
Between Heaven and Earth you're never alone 
On the Angel Flight..."Come on brother, I'm taking you home."

 I love my family and I love this land,
But tonight this flight's for another man.
We do what we do because we heard the call.
Some gave a little, but he gave it all.

I fly that plane called the Angel Flight;
"Come on brother, you're with me tonight."
Between Heaven and Earth you're never alone
On the Angel Flight..."Come on brother, I'm taking you home."

Well the tarstrip's quiet and the stars are bright;
It feels kinda like church in here tonight.
It don't matter where we touch down...
On the Angel Flight it's sacred ground.

I fly that plane called the Angel Flight;
Got a hero riding with us tonight.
Between Heaven and Earth you're never alone
On the Angel Flight..."Come on brother, I'm taking you home."
