 Honor, courage, and commitment. These well-known core values of the U.S. Navy are meant to energize and inform our words and deeds throughout our personal and professional lives. Each of these terms is freighted with deep personal meaning and holds importance across a range of situations and contexts. As we head into the Long Memorial Day weekend it's a good chance to examine these or your own values. Are we truly embodying our values and our work in daily lives? Do we honor our work, our organization, our colleagues, and ourselves? Do we show courage in our communication and actions with important others in our lives? Do we demonstrate personal commitment to the mission and individual success? Not every day is real-life battle or mortal combat but every day presents the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to our organization, our people, and to ourselves. Those that we honor on this Memorial Day gave their lives in service to their values, their nation, and for us. Through their sacrifice they gave us the opportunity and the precious gift to lead into a challenging and bright future. We honor their memory through living our values every day. Lead well this week.
