Haven't finished watching this one yet, but looks like I'll need to.  Will it appeal to general community do you think?

Erika- I think your military members will really like this speech. You can tell by the audience's captivation, that even the non military will enjoy it.

Like some others, I am a Simon Sinek fan-boy. His "Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe," talk is my favorite. He specifically talks about how the military is the best example of this and that selflessness and sacrifice on the part of a leader is one of the most admirable traits any leader can have. This guy is money.
