I will quote a great author: "Our values will determine the leadership decisions we make. And under the most difficult of circumstances(combat) when all your support systems are removed, I am talking about rank/position, family economic status, and professional organization, the only thing you have left is your values,..." by George Ragsdale in Ben Hai 211 Alpha.
George you will be greatly missed by all that knew you.
