"Remember this: the truly great leader overcomes all difficulties ... The lack of equipment, the lack of food, the lack of this or that are only excuses; the real leader displays this quality in his triumphs over adversity, however great it may be."
Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, to the first graduating class of the Army Officer Candidate School September 27, 1941

Frank McCarthy remembers it, too, from his early days in Hollywood. I didn't realize part had been filmed at Eglin.

I had just arrived home from volunteering at my daughter's elementary when I saw a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. When Peter Jennings said a small plane hit the second tower, my 3-year-old son said, "That was a 737."
I will always remember.

This week, I hosted 330 First Class (senior) VMI cadets in the #MarshallFoundationLibrary, to learn a bit about Gen. George C. Marshall's examples of leadership.
It was a wonderful, if exhausting day!

As a fellow super-nerd, if Kari joined COSO, after losing my absolute mind - I'd consider my life's work complete and there would be nothing left to accomplish. ๐
