My Early Christmas Gift
[…]absence left a void, robbing him of reliving favorite moments of the past with his Dad: tossing the football in the backyard; pulling on the wishbone; and snuggling together as they watched and slept through a Cowboy’s game. With Christmas just a few weeks away, he found it a struggle to get excited. After an eternity the bell rings unleashing him into a sunny afternoon. Making a beeline to the playground, he imagines a familiar voice calling out his name. Ignoring it he stays on course for his favorite swing. The voice is louder and closer, and now unmistakable.

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers
[…]decision making and in broader and deeper organizational or command responsibilities. The issues you will identify and address will be increasingly complex and difficult. The environment in which you work will become increasingly ambiguous, and you will have a greater opportunity and responsibility to shape that environment rather than having it defined for you.

Then came an assignment in 1965 as a battalion advisor with the Vietnamese Marine Corps (VNMC). The VNMC was an element of the “fire brigade” troops for the South Vietnamese government. They were well-trained, loyal and effective combat troops. Because of these factors they were moved into all four Corps areas, wherever the enemy was active, throughout the war. As soon as things cooled down, they […]
Three Words
by COL Alexander Shine, USA (Ret.) It was 12 May 1962. I was sitting in the mess hall where General Douglas MacArthur was to receive the Thayer Award. We knew we were in the presence of history. We were seeing and hearing one of the greatest soldiers of all time in what was his last visit to the alma mater he loved. You have most likely heard or read the speech, or at least this part of it: “Duty, honor, country. These three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.” […]
