Great quotes this morning! Sometimes all we can do is just be there as a listening ear. We never know how that may change someone's day. Thank you!

Maj Marty Hogan - Agreed - I think back in my day (75, 76, 77, etc.) it was the looking weak aspect. There are a number of reasons we don't ask for help Marty. The list is long, but I agree with you on your perspective!

I joined in 81, we had a lot of Vietnam vets still around. It wasn't broke back then. It started breaking down in the 90's in my eyes and took a nose dive in the 2000's. When I retired, not log after I became a DOD Contractor. Not the cushy kind of contractor. I deployed with the Army to Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait. Worn the same uniform, ate and slept with the units. So I've been doing it for a long time.

Good Morning COL. These are all outstanding but two stand out among the rest with me....
"The strongest people make time to help others. Strong people for some reason feel driven to help others. It gives them a sense of purpose. Even if they get nothing in return except that satisfaction that comes from helping others." ― Randy Lynch
"If you need me, call me, I don't care if I'm sleeping...if I'm having my own problems or if I'm angry at you. If you need me and if you need to talk to me I'll always be there for you. No matter how big or how small the problem is, I'll be there." ― Unknown Author
I am all over these two every day. It is part of my walk through life. Every body needs somebody sometime....Have a great Tuesday.
