VP REUNION BLESSING

Eternal Father,

We thank you for bringing us together once more to renew friendships, resurrect sea stories, compare medical histories, and to celebrate the brotherhood of Patrol Aviation. 

We thank you for our proud history, our technical and tactical advances and our contribution to the security of our great nation.

We ask that you bless those who have gone before us as we toast the memories of good times and camaraderie.

We thank you for our pilots who always got us there and for the NFO’s who told them where to go.

We thank you for our brethren in the TACAIR community, for without them, who would have created a thousand per diem jokes.  

We thank you for four engines, four generators, a half dozen nav systems and a myriad of other systems that kept us safe. 

We ask that you bless and guide the current and future generations of VPers as they prepare to fly the only 737’s where you don’t pay $25 for the first bag.

 We ask that you bless this food and ask your protection as we return to our homes throughout the nation.

 All this we ask in your name,

Amen
