Does anyone remember this? A different kind of pride, I guess.

They took the blue from the skies
And a pretty girl’s eyes
And a touch of Old Glory’s hue,
And gave it to the men who proudly wear
The U. S. Air Force Blue,
The U. S. Air Force Blue.
Oh they are men with a dream
On America’s team
They’re a rugged and ready crew,
And you can bet your boots
The world looks up
To U. S. Air Force Blue,
To U. S. Air Force Blue.
They know where they’re going,
They set their course,
The sky’s no limit in the Air Force.
They took the blue from the skies
And a pretty girl’s eyes
And a touch of Old Glory’s hue,
And gave it to the men who proudly wear
The U. S. Air Force Blue,
And you can wear it too.
The U.S. Air Force Blue!
Yeah, I remember it.
Rather fondly, actually.
Hmmmm....
“They took the goo from the guys
Then they tattooed some eyes
With a touch of Old Gary’s Goo....”
My Dad flew in the Army Air Corps, then in the Air Force thru Vietnam. I did 2 1/2 decades myself. I feel like puking.
