You have made your last flight into the wild blue yonder´s. You now stand relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Have a nice flight. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
