This is leadership.

Doug Zembiec passed seventeen years ago. May 11th, 2007. Much has been written on his accomplishments, including how he earned the nickname "The Lion of Fallujah." All-American wrestler. Recon Marine. Completed numerous combat deployments. And received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. He's best known for the way he conducted himself in battle. Becoming a legend in the Marine Corps for his aggression and for placing the safety of his Marines in front of his own. In my opinion. The most remarkable thing about Doug is what happened in the days after Doug died. When Doug was laid to rest in Arlington, it was a designed as a closed ceremony, not open to the general public. Invitations were extended to Doug's family, his close friends, and any service member who served alongside him. When the day came, more than a thousand Marines showed up. Enlisted Marines who'd served under Doug's command. When asked by a local reporter, what had drawn such a crowd, a fellow officer said "Your men have to follow your orders, but they don't have to go to your funeral." Punch Line: The things we do, the metrics we achieve, they're all merely artifacts of the people we are. The way we show up in the world, for our teams, for our families, for each other - is and will always be what people care most about. This week prioritize being over doing. #Veterans #veteranmentalhealth #marinecorps #writing ------ If you enjoy content like this, consider subscribing to The TRANSITION on Substack. https://lnkd.in/gW2vP5pw

Santo 198 Honoring Our Veterans: A Call to Recognize School Heroes On this Veterans Day, November 11, let's pause to pay tribute to the remarkable sacrifices made by our nation's heroes. As we express our gratitude, let's not forget the unsung heroes within our own school community—veterans who not only serve our nation but also bring their dedication and courage within the very walls of our schools. Veterans embody the highest ideals of our great nation—values like honor, courage, duty, and selfless service. Within your school, actively cultivate a culture of recognition and support for these remarkable individuals. Extend a public and heartfelt thank you to the staff members who have served, shedding light on their invaluable military contributions. Acknowledge their bravery and sacrifices, ensuring that the veterans in your school know that their service to our country does not go unnoticed. Be intentional in setting the tone for students to honor veterans. Whether through announcements, assemblies, or creative expressions like the attached photo—a portrait of thanks— inspire your students to recognize and appreciate the heroes among them. It is vital to express our genuine appreciation for the veterans in our school. Why? Because their sacrifices and commitment to service enrich the very fabric of our educational community. As wisely stated by Cynthia Ozick, "We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." Let us collectively celebrate the remarkable contributions of veterans who work alongside us. How do you honor the veterans in your school?

Important reminder for the upcoming holiday... 👉Memorial Day (last Monday of May) is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died during service to their country. 👉Veterans Day (November 11th) is the day set aside to thank and honor all who served honorably in the military; past and present, living and deceased. Note the difference and plan your social media posts appropriately. As GI Joe would say, "Now you know, and knowing is half the battle." 💯 Hot Take🔥 It's really not appropriate to say "Happy" Memorial Day. When you think about the true meaning of the day, it's more of a solemn note. #UnpopularOpinion . . . #SocialMedia #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy #SocialMediaManager #SmallBusinessOwner #DigitalMarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediaguru #smallbusinesssupport #MemorialDay #VeteransDay #Philadelphia #Marketing #SocialMediaExpert #SocialMediaStrategist #BucksCountyPA #BucksCountyBusiness #DoylestownPA #WarringtonPA #ChalfontPA #NewtownPA #MontcoPA #MakeItMontco #HatboroPA #HorshamPA #PlymouthMeeting #AdmasCountyPA #FrederickMD #SocialMediaHelp
