The Monday Morning Memo

Do you remember the Wizard's brave talk in the Monday Morning Memo of November 23?

“So this year I have a plan: Rather than trying to have a good Christmas, I'm going to make sure that everyone around me has one. My plan is to be silently thankful. Constantly, consciously thankful.

If my plan is to serve rather than be served, and to give understanding rather than receive it, how can I be disappointed? 

Are these things in my nature?
No. Not at all.

Might I crash and burn?
Absolutely.
Will I tell you how it all turns out?

Uh-oh. This is December 28.
The wizard told me to give you this advice:

There may have been a few times in our nation’s history when there were ‘the heroic men and women who sacrifice so much to keep America safe and preserve our freedom,’ (in the days and weeks following the attacks on Pear Harbor and the World Trade Center, for example), but I have to say that in my four years in the air force, including posting at an army base in Korea; and during numerous conversations with both veterans and those on active duty, I never once heard a serviceman or -woman claim that he or she had joined up in order to preserve American values and keep their countrymen free.”

- Tom Robbins, Tibetan Peach Pie, p. 109
