“There is a great deal of talk about loyalty from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and is much less prevalent. One of the most frequently noted characteristics of great men who have remained great is loyalty to their subordinates.” General George S. Patton

I find myself at the end of 40-plus years of service hopelessly behind in trying to give back, he continued. Because the more I have tried to give, the more that has been given to me. Its been an incredible cycle that makes me feel humble to have had the opportunity to associate myself with so many wonderful Americans. General Peter Pace

Just needed repeated. And BOLDED.
Because I suspect this quote and philosophy are SADLY AWOL at

Graduate Business Schools, Divinity Schools, not to mention
amongst a few graduates of military academies.
Thank G-d that spirit is as prevelant as it is.
