Above All...

(click on image for full size photo)

Old Glory flying above Mt. Eielson, from the Eielson Visitors Center, Denali National Park and Preserve. All in memory of Carl Ben Eielson.

I snapped this photo, for as I stood there yesterday afternoon seeing this image I couldn't help but think and my mother and sister who were in Arlington National Cemetery in honor of another group of Airmen.

Seeing this image in person or in picture, I can't think of a more fitting motto than that of the US Air Fore:

ABOVE ALL
