Ten Little Two Letter Words

Sixty years ago, when I was a junior in high school, a visitor passed along some words to me, ten very powerful words. They have been invaluable to me throughout my life: later in college; flying over 500 combat missions and supporting navy SEAL teams; dark cold nights flying operations in the North Atlantic; and leading units on missions in 145-degree heat and sandstorms in the Middle East. Thankfully, there were. as well, more normal activities in the good ole USA; commanding a military prison; serving as a Chief Deputy Sheriff; Commanding a State Guard Battalion; writing books, training leaders, and serving pastors in local churches.
