Brig. Gen. David Lee "Tex" Hill

I am sad to report that "Tex" Hill has taken his final flight. He will be missed.

Re: Brig. Gen. David Lee "Tex" Hill

Have to admit- they sure grow them special in Texas. Certainly deserving of this tribute:
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling
mirth of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred
things you have not dreamed of - wheeled
and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovr'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along,
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, the long, delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
