Glenn G. Miller

I see your picture every day, your face looking skyward with your pilot "helmet" on and the scarf around your neck. I will never forget the Iowa farm boy who dreamed of flying--and did so!

I think of you so often, dear Glenn. I miss you even more with each passing year--your smile, your memories that you so generously shared, and your persistence in attaining your childhood dream of being a pilot.

You are never far from my mind, dear friend. I still keep your picture, so handsome in your military uniform, in my workroom. Through your life, you taught us never to give up on our dreams. We who loved you miss you, but oh, how grateful we are to have known you.

I still remember you, dear Glenn. When I see aircraft in the sky, I recall a young boy in Iowa who had a dream to one day fly a plane. The boy became a pilot, serving his country in WW II and the aviation community after the war. How lucky I was to have known you, a gentle man in more than one sense of the word.

All of those who had the great privilege of knowing you remember you on this anniversary day of our loss. But in reality, you are never far from us. In our homes, we look upon photographs of your commanding presence. For me, I recall your gentle spirit every time I look up to the sky and see a plane far above me. You once flew so many types of airplanes. Now, you are above all of us earthbound beings. You touched so many people, Captain.

YOUR OL FRIEND FLOYD ('78 KAWASAKI Z1R)

Glenn was a giant of a man with the most gentle spirit. During WW II, he served Stateside, training the WASPs, when his superior skills as a pilot really warranted an overseas assignment. He was a natural teacher, a gift that others recognized before and after the war. He taught others how to fly. He also taught us all how to live life to its fullest, without complaint. Glenn is sorely missed by those who knew and loved him.

What an incredible man! He lived a very long and fulfilling life, accomplishing more than most people even dream. He lived his dreams, and left quite a legacy for his family to cherish. We are grateful for his service to our country as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family members.
