hanging from their neck saying,
'Make me feel important.'
Never forget this message when working with people.
~Mary Kay Ash
Yesterday was Veterans Day, I day selected by our Congress in 1954. The original day was Armistice Day and that day was founded in 1919 by Woodrow Wilson.
In a speech President Wilson wrote:
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
Words that stand out to me are words like pride, heroism, service and gratitude.
These words stand out to me because we have so much pride for our heros our service men and women and their families. Their service we owe much to and we need not just give them one day but every day express our gratitude.
It is important to express these feelings to our heros more than just November 11th.
We can all learn a lesson from these men and women who serve us.
The pride for country, for duty and honor that send them out to protect our borders and protect it all for future generations. What qualities they have that send them out into harms way for all of us.
Amazing is one word but there are many more.
So thank you may we always, all of us make you feel important and recognized not just for one day of course but everyday.
Smiles sent your way today and everyday : )
