Happy Birthday United States Air Force
“No One Comes Close”
This cache is a tribute to the men and women of the United States Air Force. It is placed on the 63rd Birthday of the United States Air Force, September 18, 2010. The warriors of the sky continue to amaze the world with their incredible air power and seemingly supernatural command of the sky. Their mere presence brings fear into the minds of those who dare to challenge these awesome airplanes and the men and women who fly them. They are an incredible force that stands guard 24/7, always ready to take to the sky to defend the nation in war and exact a heavy toll on those who may cause harm to America and our allies. Never doubt the strength and ability of the greatest air force in the world. The United States Air Force remains a gentle yet powerful entity in America’s arsenal of military warriors, the peacemakers. The oppressed cherish the sight of the war birds that deliver supplies to the needy. A call for help, they will answer. A call to defend, they will strike…and strike without warning. The mission of the U. S. Air Force is to fly, fight and win ... in air, space, and cyberspace. They are one of America’s finest. A sharp and respectable Salute is rendered to each and every member. Thank you and Happy Birthday!!!
The Air Force Song
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun now!)*
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!**
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!***
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Additional verses:
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder;
How they lived God only knew! (God only knew then!)
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Bridge: "A Toast to the Host"
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!
Zoom!
Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true;
If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!)
Flying men, guarding the nation's border,
We'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on. Hey!
Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force!
