The wind blew in his hair as the cold winter breeze mixed with the chilling winds swept by him.
The scent of salt filled the air as the roar of the experimental aircraft came to life. As well as
being on an experimental Aircraft Carrier it was going to be the first new weapon the Empire of
Regonia has brought into play since the start of the war and it's expected to turn the tide of the
War. "Cold one today Isnt it David."
"Too cold, Even for a bat like you, hey?" David chuckled. David was young, Barely 24, He had
watched the war since he was in highschool and was finally happy to be helping his country,
The sound of aircraft engines roared overhead as planes went to and fro. "Either way, I hope
you got a good night's rest old man. We're departing today." The older man chuckled
"Alright son, Stay safe." The older man walked off, As David picked up a radio, talking into it.
"This is Bridge to Ship, Get us to where we need to go guys." The ship departed, Almost hitting

who don't make it back will never be forgotten. And will live on as heroes! Remember what we
