TO YOU, WILL—WILL ROGERS
LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER OF LIFE

ALL AVIATION pays its tribute of gratitude...You rode into fame as a laughing cowboy lost in clouds of dust.
You climbed the sky and were lost in clouds of glory. But you live in memory.
Because you flew everywhere, on errands of every sort, fearing nothing but fear, pushing ever further into space, accepting fate with a laugh; your courage, your curiosity, your generous praise and helpfulness taught the world to love the air.
All of us who are proud to belong to Aviation: army, navy, mail, commercial fliers, sportsmen, scientists, inventors, mechanics, birdmen, birdwomen—all of us kow how much you did for us, for our art, our science, our industry. And so we pay this tribute...
...To You, Will—Will Rogers
