Poetic Obituaries: How many times Major Robert Neal Collins, Sr.

(1921- 2007), US Air Force Veteran of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, flight instructor, lover of flying, read or quoted "High Flight" by John Gillespie McGee, Jr., I know not. But the poem so characterizes Mr. Collins that I reproduce it here in his memory and for our consideration as we observe Memorial Day, 2007.

High Flight

from Union Sentinel: A Memorial Day Tribute to Major Robert Neal Collins Sr.
