Sacrifice is not the thunder of battle, but the steady heartbeat of duty, the promise kept when no one is watching, the burden carried so others may live free. #USarmy #Godblessamerica

It is not enough to win a war, it is more important to organise the peace. A soldier’s duty is not only to fight but also to uphold the values of freedom, honor, and loyalty that define our nation.

They were sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, they were heroes. And they carried a burden that few can understand and fewer still can bear.

But there are millions of technocrats out there with lots of facts in their quivers and little leadership potential. In many cases, what they are missing is empathy. No one is a leader who can’t put himself or herself in the other person’s shoes. Empathy and expertise command respect. It’s a new month of October, and my prayers are with every single citizen of America and to the lives lost in service and sacrifice. May we have a great Month. #USarmy #GodBlessAmerica #WeHaveANationToFix #TheBattleIsOfTheLord
