I Did For The Fun Of It

If Enough Of Us Keep Trying, We'll Get Someplace.

There Is So Much That Must Be Done In A Civilized Barbarism Like War.

Please Know That I Am Aware Of The Hazards. I Want To Do It Because I Want To Do It. Women Must Try To Do Things As Men Have Tried. When They Fail, Their Failure Must Be A Challenge To Others.

The Stars Seemed Near Enough To Touch And Never Before Have I Seen So Many. I Always Believed The Lure Of Flying Is The Lure Of Beauty, But I Was Sure Of It That Night.

So I Accept These Awards On Behalf Of The Cake Bakers And All Of Those Other Women Who Can Do Some Things Quite As Important, If Not More Important, Than Flying, As Well As In The Name Of Women Flying Today.
