Got Character?
We all love those essential support characters in film who help to bring out the best in the central figure's storyline - ie Star Wars Chewbacca to Hans Solo, Hermione+Hagrid to Harry Potter, M.A.S.H.'s Radar O'Reilly to Colonels Henry Blake and Sherm Potter and who can deny Goonies' Sloth to friend Chunk.
These characters add the distinctive qualities of genuineness, the unspoken 'I got your back' and the unconditional 'you go, we go' to the storyline because it's within them. They just do without the attention to themselves.
Character is defined as 'the way someone thinks, feels, and behaves'.
As a son, husband, father, military officer (retired), friend, coworker, human being at large, I reflect on my own character and question 'do I measure up?' Some days better than others. I remain a work-in-progress like most.
As we all have witnessed the recent turmoils in our country's capitol, I hope our elected officials both spot check their own degree of character as well as consider the ability to support the central figures who are selflessly trying to save the galaxy by triaging the damage and saving U.S.
It's a work in progress.

2wI will sign my name to this letter! What awe inspiring determination and discipline to pull this off. Especially after last years TDF, where it seemingly crushed his spirit and no one was sure if he would continue What an accomplishment.
