Book excerpt: It is my fervent wish and desire to bequeath to my children, grandchildren and to all children curiosity that will pique their interest to seek truth and establish values that can not be destroyed. Just as the SPIRIT of the Revolutionary solder at Valley Forge Was not crushed, so I wish and pray they will join and be come our American Spirit that will preserver and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. That their spirit will be the same as every crisis and war we faced and every war we won since our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The same spirit that created the best country in the world that we now in. A reminder, Abraham Lincoln said "We will never be destroyed by a foreign enemy, will be defeated by the enemy from within. I hope and pray this is not prophetic. President Kennedy said when we faced another crisis, "Ask not what your country can co for you, and ask what you can do for your country". My challenge to all is, what are you willing to stick your neck out for? Is it Liberty and freedom or the slavery of Socialism?

Download or read book Elite Souls written by Ray Raymond and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great nineteenth century French military thinker Ardant du Picq, argued that selfless courage is rooted in a higher moral purpose, and is found among “Elite Souls.” This is a book about five such “Elite Souls,” all highly decorated young West Point graduates and recipients of the USMA’s Ninninger Medal. Elite Souls outlines the importance of building and developing moral character in military leaders, while arguing that a rigorous academic education is also essential in creating young officers capable of the kind of creative and critical thinking necessary in the complicated wars of the twenty-first century. Dr. Raymond suggests that West Point’s servant-leader model is critical in fostering the kind of intense selflessness ideally seen between junior officers, their NCOs, and soldiers. Finally, Elite Souls makes the case that inspirational commanding officers are also key. In this book, Dr. Ray Raymond argues that each of the recipients of the Ninninger Award entered West Point primarily for moral reasons and that the Academy's rigorous academic, military, and developmental methods strengthened those values. West Point produced young military leaders who were exceptionally well-educated and trained to deal with the complex challenges of war in Iraq and Afghanistan in the early twenty first century."

Download or read book Unsustainable Oil written by Jon Gordon and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sustainable development is, for government and industry at least, primarily a way of turning trees into lumber, tar into oil, and critique into consent; a way to defend the status quo of growth at any cost." —from the Introduction In Unsustainable Oil: Facts, Counterfacts and Fictions, Jon Gordon makes the case for re-evaluating the theoretical, political, and environmental issues around petroleum extraction. Doing so, he argues, will reinvigorate our understanding of the culture and the ethics of energy production in Canada. Rather than looking for better facts or better interpretations of the facts, Gordon challenges us to embrace the future after oil. Reading fiction can help us understand the cultural-ecological crisis that we inhabit. In Unsustainable Oil, using the lens of Alberta’s bituminous sands, he asks us to consider literature’s potential to open space for creative alternatives.

Download or read book Bones of My Garden written by Jane Cocke Perdue and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bones of a garden refers to its skeletal structure, the basic organizational form of a garden's plantings and permanent structures. The poems collected here are "the bones" of my life's garden, beginning the faith stories I was raised on and have re-read through the years in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Included also are "the bones" of family. Since I know that all of our children and grandchildren will immediately calculate whether or not they have equal space, I have made certain that each one is the subject of one poem. There are others in my files for my next publication, but for now I am satisfied that no one member of the family has the spotlight. People and nature are prominent themes in this book of poetry that moves through America as I travel. A view across Central Park from East to West spreads the dawn of early morning: "A celestial match/ scrapes its head along concrete ledges/ until golden flames ignite behind black glass." The Oklahoma plains appear as "wind-cleansed land/ sighing between two oceans." People are observed from birth to death: a new-born who "mews like a kitten," and nursing home patients in "rooms occupied by slumping ghosts." A homeless man from somewhere and everywhere "...kneels/ as if in prayer beside one bag/ ripped open with a rusty key" at the same time an apartment tenant chooses colors that "unroll hope into living/ camouflage impermanence/ celebrate spaces/ storing renter's dreams." My wish for the readers of these "bones" is that they will walk in their own gardens of discovery and perhaps enjoy what Anna Quindlen exquisitely defines as the poetic experience: "...the heart coming around the corner and unexpectedly running into the mind."
