Food for Thought 

You must have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end that the ego has accepted as it’s own.  When you have achieved it, it has not satisfied you.

That is why the ego is forced to shift ceaselessly from one goal to another, so that you will continue to hope it can yet offer you something.

 

This week is a very special time for us to reflect, honor and respect all of our fellow Veterans, their Family and Loved ones who have and continue to serve through our various groups, posts and activities.

 

Thank you dear Lord; for watching over us as the world goes through a transformation. To transform the world we must begin by first transforming ourselves.

Now is the time for us each to actively pursue that transformation…

“Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It’s about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.”
— Chris Hadfield, Astronaut 

This Day in Military History

May 29, 1781: In a battle with the British ships Atalanta and Trepassey off Newfoundland, John Barry, U.S. commander on Alliance, was injured by shrapnel and taken below to have his wounds dressed while the Alliance was dangerously battered. When his second in command asked permission to strike colors, Barry angrily ordered to be carried on deck to resume the fight—which the Americans won.

“No, Sir, the thunder! If this ship cannot be fought without me, I will be brought on deck; to your duty, Sir.” – John Barry
