Ladies and Gentlemen
Today is a day for mourning
And remembering
They had a hunger to explore
The universe and discover its truths
And they had that special grace
That special spirt that says

"Give me a challenge, and I'll meet it With joy"
The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us in the matter In which they lived their lives
We will never forget them as they Prepared for their journey and Waved goodbye and slipped the Surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.
