Leadership in the making

They call it America’s Game as it’s the oldest rivalry in sports. The Army-Navy game was played yesterday for the 110th time. Football aside, it was quite a site to see 8,000 cadets and midshipmen all in one place. Looking at the cadets on the field while hearing the announcer say, “Future leaders of America’s sons and daughters,” is quite a sobering moment. It’s when you realize, more than those on the field, what’s truly at stake for our best and brightest. In getting to know some of these cadets, I have no doubt they take their leadership development quite seriously. Please don’t miss an opportunity to thank our military men and women for their service, and consider hiring veterans for their discipline, tenacity and leadership.
