For Lex - A Super Hornet, the Nimitz with a full airwing on deck, and off to the right a vitamin water to lift a toast (all I had), and a frame titled 'A Navy Flyer's Creed'.
I am a United States Navy Flyer.
My countrymen built the best airplane in the world and entrusted it to me. They trained me to fly it. I will use it to the absolute limit of my power.
...
With my fellow pilots, air crews, and deck crews, my plane and I will do anything necessary to carry out our tremendous responsibilities, I will always remember we are part of an unbeatable combat team - the United States Navy.
When the going is fast and rough, I will not falter. I will be uncompromising in every blow I strike. I will be humble in victory.
I am a United States Navy flyer. I have decidcated myself to my country, with its many millions of all races, colors, and creeds. They and their way of life are worthy of my greatest protective effort.
I ask the help of God in making that effort great enough.
Signed - Gosport, Pensacola.
