What I have learned about people and organizations...so far.

The poster read: “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory.”

In 1939 at the beginning of World War II the British government produced a series of posters intended to boost the morale of its demoralized citizens who were fearing a German invasion. They had good reason to fear as Adolph Hitler was invading one European nation after another. The first in this series of posters read: “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory”.

I don’t need to tell you that today, 72 years later, we find ourselves IN similarly precarious times.  National debt, unemployment, terrorism, instability in the Middle-east and a chain of recent natural disasters have a majority of Americans with a similar sense of fearing.
