About the poem Silent Warriors       
Silent Warriors, the centerpiece of our home page, was authored in 2002 by Russ Butcher, a 1961-1963 veteran of Misawa, and originally posted on the USAFSS in Misawa, Japan website.

The words are intended to honor all USAFSS men and women, those Silent Warriors who, for over half a century, were committed to tirelessly carrying out their global mission - on land and in the air - in unquestioned and dedicated silence.
