*My "word" this week is "Duty"
"Duty is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things..
You cannot do more...you should never wish to do less" *Gen.Robert E Lee
Confederate soldiers fought bravely to the very end, dispite sickness,
hunger,poverty and the loss of dear friends... they were led by the very
best of Generals.. Lee,Jackson and Forest... Stuart, Longstreeet, Johnson
and Beauregard...
*I'm not here to re-fight the American Civil War... but to point out
the character of the men who would follow such leaders in a "nobel cause"
Duty...
*Scouts have three points to their emblem.. and raise three fingers
to give the scout salute as an oath or promise...
Duty to GOD
Duty to Country
Duty to self
They start their "Oath/Pledge" with this:
*On my honor...I will do my best, to do my DUTY to GOD and my COUNTRY...
*My dictonary speeks about DUTY...
*Duty: conduct due parents and leaders-RESPECT
: Obliatory tasks,conduct,service or function as a result of ones
position. (*patrol guide has a "duty?")
:the force of MORAL OBLIGATION!
You see... my boys have no sence of DUTY!
-----------------------------------------
*They understand play, and they understand winning and are willing to
lose their HONOR to gain a measure of victory over a fellow Ranger..
Boys with out a sence of DUTY will cross every point of the Ranger Code
without a hesitation... *A ranger does not Lie,Cheat or Steal..
*That's the CODE!
Yet how quick does a boy present an excuse, a Lie or a Fit of temper to
hide a MORAL FAILURE?
"Duty...is the sublinest word in our language...
DO YOUR DUTY IN ALL THINGS! you cannot do more... and should never wish to
do less..."
