"The Values That Make Us Strong"
Good morning, Happy Veterans Day. Just in case you don't know I am Mr. Shane, the night janitor. Before I was Sunnyside janitor, I served in the US Army for 8 years as an infantryman. I did 2 deployments to Iraq in 2007-2008 and 2009-10
Today, I want to talk to you about some important values that can make us better people and help us become leaders in our own way. These values are Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage, and Leadership. They are often called the Army Values, but they can guide us all in our daily lives.
Loyalty means being true to your friends, family, and those you care about. It's sticking by their side and being there for them no matter what.
Duty is like your responsibility. It's doing the things you're supposed to do, like your homework and chores, without being told all the time.
Respect is treating others how you want to be treated. It means being kind and polite, even when you disagree with someone.
Selfless Service is helping others without expecting anything in return. It's about being a good friend and lending a helping hand when someone needs it.
Honor is being honest and doing what's right, even when no one is watching. It's being true to yourself and your values.
Integrity means always being truthful and having strong moral principles. It's doing what's right even when it's hard.
Personal Courage is facing your fears and doing what you know is right, even when it's difficult. It's being brave in the face of challenges.
Leadership is about setting a good example, helping others, and making the right choices. You can be a leader in your school or among your friends by being a good role model.
Remember, these values aren't just for the Army; they're for all of us to follow in our lives. By living by these values, we can make our families, schools, and communities better places. We can be strong and kind leaders who make a positive difference.
So, let's all practice these values in our daily lives. Let's be loyal, responsible, respectful, selfless, honorable, honest, brave, and leaders in our own way. Together, we can make the world a better place.
