Honor-Courage-Commitment

Today is Veterans Day!  Thank you, veterans of all branches, and Happy 236th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps (yesterday).  As we celebrate Thanksgiving with our loved ones this year, let's say a special prayer for the members of our armed forces who are away from their families protecting us, so we can enjoy this day.  Part of the U.S. Navy SEALs creed states:  "Lead by example in all situations."  Are we doing that in our lives today-at work, and with our families?  Or are we instead being led by the media, our friends' opinions, and the Internet?  In the U.S. Marine Corps publication, 'Sustaining the Transformation', their core values are listed as Honor-Courage-Commitment.  Let's adopt their core values ourselves- lead by example during these holidays and be the kind of persons we were meant to be.  Be sure to thank at least one veteran today and let them know you REMEMBER their sacrifice, and what this day is all about.
