And while I was born at a time post-draft, the lack of personal responsibility & accountability from many in our country would not be near as prevalent with mandatory service for all (men & women). I still think you should run for President.Matt Beckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174301114218706899.post-58455321503723477882015-05-19T08:47:32.254-04:002015-05-19T08:47:32.254-04:00Dad, you make me proud.

After teaching at USNA for 13 years I believe they have the honor and integrity necessary to make the hard, right decisions. Society had changed, but those willing to step forward understand that it takes moral courage to make the touch decisions.<br />The Ethics course provided for youngsters is an opportunity to expose the leaders with wisdom and experience. While we can not change how they arrived at USNA, we can offer the chance to think outside the box about the difficulties of leadership.NavyORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889360926342496453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174301114218706899.post-55204111864215591962011-05-30T11:39:48.515-04:002011-05-30T11:39:48.515-04:00Dad - thank you for the years you have served and ...Dad - thank you for the years you have served and your commitment to the responsibility of leadership.pacaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267895607236057475noreply@blogger.com
