Senior Architectural Systems’ Post

As someone who works in the field of trust and integrity, this is interesting. To me it’s clear that someone with integrity volunteered to serve, performed with valor, acted with that same integrity, got scuppered by an admin issue that appears to have affected many people in the same situation, has been completely transparent, explained himself and that he was assured that his award was approved, and has apologised for completing a form on that basis. To any decent reasonable human being that should really be the end of the issue. But no. Because it’s politically expedient to accuse the man of stealing valor, something which very clearly did not happen. Doesn’t that really say something more about the accusers integrity than his? This is how trust and credibility works. It’s transitive. Someone with actual verifiable credibility endorses someone else with a cited verifiable narrative. Why do so many people fall for following the manufactured outrage but aren’t outraged by the attempt to manipulate them? Or by the disingenuous attempt to tarnish a good man? Why are people so quick to just pile on the next target? How long ago did we lose the art of calm objective consideration, and critical thinking?

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation in uniform. As President of HaltingWinter Municipal Solutions, I want to extend a special recognition to the veterans who continue their service in a different way – by strengthening our cities and communities through municipal leadership. The transition from military to municipal service is a natural evolution of leadership. The skills honed in military service – strategic thinking, crisis management, team leadership, and unwavering commitment to mission success – are exactly what our cities need to thrive in challenging times. To our veterans currently serving in city halls, public works departments, emergency personnel, and municipal offices across America: Your continued dedication to public service exemplifies the very best of our nation's values. You've traded one uniform for another, but your mission remains the same – protecting and improving the lives of those you serve. To our active duty service members considering their next chapter: Our cities need leaders like you. Your training in logistics, emergency response, personnel management, and complex problem-solving provides an invaluable foundation for municipal leadership. The discipline, integrity, and sense of duty you've developed in the military are precious assets in public service. Today, as we honor your service to our nation, we also celebrate the potential you bring to our communities. Whether you're a veteran continuing your service in municipal leadership or an active duty member exploring future opportunities, know that your skills, experience, and leadership are valued and needed in our cities. Thank you for your service – past, present, and future. #VeteransDay #MunicipalLeadership #PublicService #CityManagement #Leadership

Here is today's book highlight: The idea of duty is a simple one. We all have a job to do in life. Whether that job is serving customers in a restaurant, taking care of our family, teaching our children, policing our cities, caring for the ill and infirm, protecting our gate, following the military Code of Conduct, or leading the country, we must do our job to the best of our ability. We must do our job well, not because it serves our interests, but because it serves the interests of others. We do not live in this world alone. Duty is a recognition that you have a responsibility to your fellow man and woman. It is an unselfish act, whether great or small, that contributes to the welfare of humanity. That is what makes it so very powerful. If you want to be a hero, it’s easy. Just do your duty! The Hero Code: Lessons Learned from Lives Well Lived by Admiral William H. McRaven
