Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hey Stef,

Here's a great site: Young Eagles is a division of the Experimental Aircraft Assoc.(EAA).

Poke around and you'll find quite a few fun games, trivia, NASA stuff and photos & videos.

If you click on Youth Programs you'll find out about a program in a lot of areas that allows children to have a free flight after completing "ground school." Our kids have done it several times and it's always exciting!

No aviation unit is complete without the Tuskegee Airman; they were simply one of the best escort units in the war and were segregated and degraded throughout WWII by the other troops. They flew the P-51...the "Red-tail."

There is a Cornerstones of Freedom book, and a picture book called Wind Flyers. There are several other non-fiction resources at the library as well as some documentaries and a movie.
