It is not lost on me that earlier this week I had the opportunity to listen to a coach, a courageous coach, speak about the importance of "servant leadership." Coach Don Meyer talks about the highest level of doing for others. And now, on the anniversary of 9-11, let us not forget those who paid the ultimate price 10 years ago. Let us especially not forget the number of stories of courage and supreme sacrifice and the many who took "servant leadership" to the ultimate level!
