Reginald Brewster obituary: Tuskegee Airman dies at 103 – Legacy.com

Rest in Peace my Airman warrior brother. You opened doors and broke barriers for many people and our nation...for that we are eternally grateful. Go rest high on that mountain...your work on earth is done.

High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Even in my time the 8th Air Force Historian was still writing about the Red Tails contribution to the bombers success.

Some of them sure lived out a long life.
