US Army Values
Happy 241st Birthday to the U.S. Army! The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of expert riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. Today, the Army is the strategic landpower of the joint force; called upon to prevent, shape, and win against our adversaries. The American Soldier — Always Ready, Always Leading!

“I am not concerned that you have fallen;
I am concerned that you arise.”
Abraham Lincoln“99% of excuses come from people who make excuses”
George Washington
Does anybody send cards to the President on President’s Day? It’s probably not a lucrative business model for Hallmark or American Greetings, as there would only be a handful of recipients available…but it’s worth a thought! Presidential character and growth has been the subject of much discussion over many generations–as the very feat of rising to such a pinnacle of leadership seems so daunting for many of us. What we fail to realize is that Presidents all started out like you and I–ordinary people honing their leadership skills and style through personal growth and experience. … Read the rest

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
It’s that festive time of the year when we pause to spend time with our families and focus on what is important: our relationships. As a result, we turn off the monitors, switch off the laptops, close the books and take off or reading glasses for a short period while we recharge our batteries and sharpen our pencils for the new year. From all of us at GeneralLeadership.com, please enjoy the happiest of holidays!… Read the rest

“…solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom.”
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
On November 11, 1918–after more than four years of bloody fighting by over 70 million soldiers from as many as 100 countries, an armistice was signed in France between the Allies and Germany bringing World War I to a close. At the time, H.G. Wells coined the term “the war to end all wars,” referring to the conflict that left more than 9-million lives on the battlefield and countless others forever changed.… Read the rest
“Admiration of the Nation
We’re the finest ever seen
And we glory in the title
Of United States Marines”
Early words to the last stanza of the first verse of the “Marines’ Hymn”
Happy 241st Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, and passed a resolution stating that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for service as landing forces with the fleet. This resolution established the Continental Marines and marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Since then, Marines have participated in all the wars of the United States, and in most cases were the first service members to fight. … Read the rest
