Close Encounter

One cold night in France

During WW2. Some one lit a fire

Which was stupid to do.

A German pilot buzzed us.

 

Seeing we were the enemy

He turned around and came back.

We all dove for cover

Two guys landed on my back.

 

We heard him diving at us

And then his bullets exploded

Five or six feet from

Where we where hiding.

You served in the Big One, George, and we are all proud of you. Multiply your actions 10,000 times over, and that tells everyone why the Allies came out on top.

Something to remember this Memorial Day, thankful to still be alive 73 years later.

Those like you who remember are leaving us. I will visit my uncle, 99, retired major from the Air Force, next Sunday to avoid the holiday traffic. He served from 1941 to 1961.
