2. Contributed by Lt Gen G Katoch<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth<\/span>
\nAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;<\/span>
\nSunward I\u2019ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth<\/span>
\nOf sun-split clouds, \u2013 and done a hundred things<\/span>
\nYou have not dreamed of \u2013 wheeled and soared and swung<\/span>
\nHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov\u2019ring there,<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung<\/span>
\nMy eager craft through footless halls of air\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace<\/span>
\nWhere never lark, or ever eagle flew \u2013<\/span>
\nAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I\u2019ve trod<\/span>
\nThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,<\/span>
\nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Gillespie Magee<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But there’s something else – there’s a spark. There’s a desire to be good. To do well; in the eyes of your peers, and in your own mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– Robin Olds,\u00a0<\/span>Fighter Pilot<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
