Leadership Letters to America

"I knew from the moment I opened the cover of A Tender Warrior that this beautiful book would profoundly affect the way I look at the world around me, and help me understand the true meaning of heroism... [Lt. Gen. Hal Moore] gave us a role model for loyalty, dedication, charity, and integrity. A Tender Warrior is a book I will always keep within reach to read again and again; to use as a guidebook for 'advanced inspiration.'"

We Shall Prevail: "The condition, as clearly shown in the 2007 Gallup Poll, is that in many institutions, public trust is at an all-time low. But this national malaise can be changed. America has always prevailed against the enemy. And we will prevail again and again. In our greatest of crises, we have prevailed. And we will prevail now-but for a different cause- with a re-awakening of public trust."

From Face-to-Face Combat to Arm-in-Arm Friendship: "Some of my men had accompanied me to meet with the man, along with a few of his soldiers, who had once endeavored to kill us. Lt. Gen. Nguyen Huu An and I came face-to-face. Instead of charging one another with bayonets, we mutually offered open arms."

A Pledge of Sacred honor in the name of civility: "Principled leadership will spring the door wide open for civility, authentic dialogue, and a sense of kinship and trust."

Without Equal... WE!:"I will do my best and expect the same from each one of you. We will be... without equal. We will be the best infantry in the world! Now go back to your barracks and get rid of all the 2nd place trophies. From now on, only 1st place trophies will be awarded, accepted, or displayed in this outfit."

Living Life Abundantly: "My last days, if at all possible, are going to be full... living my life abundantly... Purpose is calling you from under the rocks and in the hearts and souls of others. Someone out there needs you more than you need them!"
