5/29/06 - How Easy it is to Forget
This Monday is Memorial Day in the United States. It is a day set aside to honor those who lost their lives serving their country. It is a day to pay tribute to their personal courage, love of country, and dedication to duty. At least that is the purpose for the "extra day off work on the fourth Monday of May.
 
Here in Indianapolis (IN), Memorial Day provides the backdrop for the city's most famous event - the Indianapolis 500 auto race. For most, the race is a thrilling event, a chance to party and just enjoy the sights, sounds and smells associated with the “greatest spectacle in racing. It is a race full of traditions and I am proud that the organizers use the opportunity to recognize those that have served and currently serve in the armed forces. If you are enjoying a three day weekend, I suggest you take just a few moments to view the pre-race ceremonies on television honoring those who deserve our gratitude.
 
Consider for a moment their dedication to task. Compare the dedication and sacrifice of these civil servants to serve their customers better known as citizens. How does your organization's willingness to “do whatever it takes” to serve compare to a benchmark like that?
