在美國大大小小的航展上,有個保留節目HERITAGE FLIGHT,它的目的是紀念美國空軍的發展曆程,紀念陣亡的空軍將士。它通常由兩架戰鬥機組成,一架是二戰時期的舊式螺旋槳飛機,而另一架是最先進的戰機。兩架飛機如影隨形,在空中編隊飛行,與此同時,機場響起激動人心的歌曲WE REMEMBER。It is truly inspirational.
To those who've had to fly and fight,
who have served their country in the sky,
with a grateful heart, and watchful eye,
we remember.
And may the faithful, proud machines,
who bore the sword of freedom on their wings,
be given the honor such a burden brings,
and we remember.
Keep them flying, keep them flying,
so that all who see them will know,
that their freedom was won by the blood that flowed,
and remember.
And all who've coursed through hostile skies,
know that freedom requires a sacrifice,
to those who paid the highest price,
we remember.
With a place of honor so deserved,
for what flesh and blood and steel have earned,
that may the greatest glory be reserved,
for the colors they so bravely served.
Keep them flying, keep them flying,
so that all who see them will know,
that our freedom was won by the blood that flowed,
and we remember.
