I am a "Navy Aviator". I was born and raised in a small
town in
New
England.
I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class
home and taught my values by my mother and father.
My dad worked a series of jobs in finance and my mom took care
of us kids. We were not an overly religious family, but
attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal
Church. I have a brother and
sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was the first in
many generations to attend college.
I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying
was never a lifelong dream or a "calling", it just
happened.!!!
I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it
today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation
which has given so much to me. I do it because, although I
will never be rich, my family will be comfortable.
I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines
and someone has to do it.
My government has spent millions to train me to fly these
multi-million dollar aircraft. I make about 70,000 dollars a
year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.
I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I
am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day
for my community, and like teachers, they just don't get paid
enough.
I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when
addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but
I think that's normal for every generation.
I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to
know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't
be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will
be in a
U.S.
issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight
gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a
US
Warplane.
I wish we could
meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands
around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you, but
unfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground, so we
will have to do this a different way.
I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I
can put a 2,000 lb weapon through a window from 10,000 feet
up. I generally only fly at night, so you may want to start
sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country
but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from
animals like you.
I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are
hurt as I take aim at you.
My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already
forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!
I am coming.
I hope you know me a little bit better now, see you
soon...sleep tight.
Signed
A
U.S.
Navy Pilot
Our Soldiers are one
of our greatest assets!
God Bless
them one and all!
