Leadership

It's not just about being in charge and giving orders. The NCO Creed lays it out: "My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind -- the accomplishment of my mission, and the welfare of my Soldiers."

Being a leader means taking responsibility for the welfare of the troops under your command. Good leaders know this.

One such leader retired earlier this month. And left messages for Marines who were under his command in Viet Nam, who's names are inscribed into the Viet Nam War Memorial.
