His name is Victor Glover!

He is a man of heritage—steadfast and proud,

A Black son of promise, who stands tall, unbowed.

A Christian in spirit, with faith as his guide,

Grounded in God’s purpose, with strength deep inside.

He is a husband devoted, in love firmly grown,

A father of four, where his truest wealth’s shown.

He has an engineer’s mind, precise and aware—

With a bachelor’s in General Engineering to share,

Two master’s hard-earned: Flight Test in the sky,

And Systems Engineering—where complexities lie.

He is a scientist shaping what futures can be,

With discipline, vision, and curiosity.

He is a military officer, tested and true,

With honor and duty in all he would do.

He is a pilot who rises where few dare to climb,

Commanding the heavens with skill over time.

So let young hearts see what a life can become—

Where faith, intellect, courage, and calling are joined into one.
