THE VOYAGE OF THE CENTURY
Dedicated to the U. S. Army World Flyers

A ND so you've come to home, sweet home;
L Safe from the hazards of an errand
Which man had never dared before;
Embazoned in white light of glory,
The voyage Of the century ends
Pursued by vengeful wraiths of fate,
Which fought to bar you from your goal
And wreck ambitious hopes and plans
You braved the clutching hand of Arctic death
And heish heat of desert sweeps
And all the countless perls of the way,
To write bright, new page for U. S. A.
md now that you have the victory,
Emperors and kings and peoples Of the world
Salute the deed and cheer your knightly courage.
And all of us with proud acclaim can say:
1T was Americans who did it."
But best of all, your great reward will be-
When the quick-step of parade is stled-
To tell the thrilling saga to your mother;
To see her smile; to hear her say:
81 knew you would my boy
81 was praying every day.
