    Chapel of the Fallen Eagles

    These beautifully crafted stained glass windows depict American airmen, angels, and aircraft. The detail of a service man or woman who sacrificed it all, carried to heaven. Accepted with open arms by One who knew all too well the toll, the weight of burdens carried like bomb laden aircraft.

    Prayers held winged craft through anti-air barrages!

    Flowers laid for many not ever to return. Only remembrances, tiny flickers of faces, laughter, dog tags, co-pilots ripped from cockpits over foreign lands. Again the nightmares, and the thankfulness in the same sweat soaked night. Any of remaining squadron members? 89 years ago. We remember for you!

    Numbers on emblems sown to fabric, worn on shoulders. Painted on air chariots, cast on coins, carried in pockets of airmen today!

    Chapel of the Fallen Eagles

    Tuesday we visited an amazing military museum right here in Savannah, Georgia. Truly I had no idea that it was a Nation Museum for a famous division of the Air Force vital to combat operations during WWII.

    The exhibits were full of historical accounts captured like in a time capsule. Film, radio broadcasts, newspapers, uniforms, vehicles and much more.

    This series will be on the Chapel that sits on the grounds of the museum.

    . .

    Believe it or not this is an actual operational chapel. Not a relic, it was built to resemble an English chapel.

    The Chapel is available for weddings, memorial services and church services by special request.

    The next blog post will focus on the stained glass windows depicting lives given in service as members of the Mighty 8th.

    Museum Musings: Dragonfly at Mighty 8th Air Force Museum Memorial Garden

    Nation Museum of the Mighty 8th Air Force Memorial Garden

    A place steeped in history. A garden full of dedication to fallen airmen and women who gave their lives plus all those supporting the their efforts from the workers who built countless numbers of aircraft and children donating pots and pans for the defense of humanity’s freedom.

    . .

    Honor! Sacrifice! Dedication! Emotion can easily overwhelm you here, in this garden.

    Then a tiny dragonfly lands on the memorial bench in front of you! He tilts his head wondering his place in all this… garden laid before him. He is so small and you finally understand… the cost… their price for your freedom.

    . .
    . .
    . .

    The dragonfly buzzes off. His work is done… today!
