Does the military build character or does the military build character?

Florida’s Panama City, torn apart by Hurricane Michael, now managed by 2-star Army general

FTA:
When McQueen accepted the job six months ago, he asked the commission for a grace period to wrap up his military service and end his a civilian job as a church’s business administrator. There was another pressing matter, too.

“There was a gentleman who needed a kidney,” he said casually.

That’s right. In the last four months, McQueen has retired from the military, started a new job, helped coordinate one of the largest hurricane responses since Katrina, and donated a kidney — to a stranger.

In August, he donated his left kidney to a man at his church, and took a few weeks to recover. The man who received the kidney is doing well.

When McQueen accepted the job last spring, he talked about his need to be a servant for his community, not being mediocre and quitting, but leaving a mark at doing great things.

“What am I going to do for the second half of the game, the game of my life to contribute, to give back, to secure victory, to get the win?” he told the Panama City News Herald. “I want to commit myself to that life of continuing to be a service leader, to being one who is giving back to the community. I am standing before you today not only because of the great opportunities I have had in my civilian career but also my military, and I was able to have that military career right here in Panama City and become a senior leader in the United States Army because of the investment this community made in me. It’s my time to give back to this community.”

The husband and I watched Laura just so we could see the interview. (Husband likes her, but she gets on my nerves.) Could not believe how many times she talked over the President. Rude and disrespectful.
