I felt a shiver when I read this article, and remembered a letter of recommendation my platoon leader handed me when I ETS’ed from Benning in 87. I believe I still have it in a box down the basement.

I really liked this. If more leaders were to take the time to do as your Lt. Colonel did, just imagine the impact over time!

SFC (Join to see) you were fortunate to have such a Leader in uour chain if command. It's a lesson we all could implement & maybe... just maybe...
change someone's life.
I'm like you when it comes to saving items that had an impact on me.
Great share!

Thanks for the comments. That letter I received helped be get a civil engineer trainee position with PennDOT that ultimately shaped the engineer and manager that I became. The executive who hired me was a veteran who was impressed by it.

Outstanding! We need to praise people for the good things they do to set the example so they may do the same.
