Everyone draws inspiration from somewhere: great leaders, athletes, celebrities, politicians, family, fictional characters, etc.. Who inspires you and why?

Growing up it was always Star Wars. The "light vs. dark" side of The Force was great. They were great movies and stories growing up. Looking back, there were a lot of great quotes that resonate in my day to day life now. It may sound corny, bur Yoda's quote that you "Do or do not. there is no try," is something that carries a lot of weight.

Good times...

1SG Steven Stankovich yes! The immortal words of Yoda, I love it. I tell my NCOs that sometimes but lately they don't get it...of course it may have something to do with try are young enough to be my kids. Am I getting old now? Is that what the feels like? LOL!

I know what you mean brother. There are times I catch myself telling a story and referring to a movie or a character from the early 80s or something and I look around and see the "deer in the headlight look." Yep, almost time to head out to pasture...lol... ;)
