Blog #13 Memorial Day and paying tribute to...

Good Morning cadets, I hope you had a great weekend with your Park Clean-up and Norwegian Day Parade.  Since we are closing in on our last parade for the season and it is on Memorial, your task this week is to select a Video of Song that pays hommage to those memembers of our Armed Forces that protect our country day and night, 24/7.  Remember to post your link and explain why you chose the video.  You must also comment on at least one of your peer's work for full credit.  Good luck and here is your video this week.

Blog #12, 14 Leadership traits and who I would follow...

Good morning cadets and I hope that you are ready for the last marking period of JROTC. This year has flown bye and I can't believe that it is almost over.  Since we are looking at leaders and the traits that make them leaders, your task this week is to select a leader from the 20th or 21st Century and explain which of the 14 leadership traits apply to that person and why. Once you have done so, select a video or web site to post to our blog. Once you have done this, your last task is to respond or comment on your peer's work. Remember that leaders do not have to be in the military or politics and can come in all shapes and sizes.  Here is my short video on Leaders of the 20th Century.  My selection is for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  He exhibited all of the 14 leadership traits on a daily basis.  He battled poor health and displayed Physical Courage.  I admire that President FDR was Decisive and made decisions based on what he believed the country needed. FDR never lost sight that he worked for the American people. Here is the video and I hope you enjoy it along with the other leaders:
