heh...sounds kinda cocky eh? But COOL! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Believe
Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire
Time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive |
|
|
|
|
I'm working on my seventh year here on Whiteman AFB, MO, home of the B-2 Stealth Bomber. It's been fun I guess. I have a lot of friends here, that's the coolest part! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
Just to bring them down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know
How much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change right here right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Before I moved to Whiteman, I lived on Altus AFB, Oklahoma, home of the C-5 and C-17. I loved it there!!! I have a lot of good memories, and made some great friends there. |

Lake Altus: THE coolest place ever!!! The old town of Altus was flooded here and turned into a beautiful lake. Sometimes when the water is low enough, you can see the church steeple. |

Before Altus AFB, I lived in Harrisonville, MO (where all my family lives) when my dad was stationed at Whiteman for the first time. And before there I lived on Dyess AFB, Texas, home of the B-1 Bomber for 5 years. This is where my memories first start. |

Before Dyess AFB, I lived on some base in Colorado...that's really all I know about it, but before there, I was born on Blytheville AFB, Arkansas...which doesn't exist anymore (tear). I only lived there for 5 months, and I've never been back. I still take pride in being from there, even though it IS in Arkansas, lol. If you look at the map...it's close to a town called 'Helland', LOL. I couldn't find much online about it, I honestly think the USAF now denies that it ever existed or something. The latest date on record that I could find about Blytheville AFB was back in 1974. |
