Persistent, Patient Courage

Courage comes in many guises. Here, in a story from Today's New York Times, is one of the most powerful forms of courage.

I don't know General Borling. On the basis of this story, I would follow him anywhere.

Borling doesn't claim to be heroic. That reflects the self effacing but effective courage of an older generation - a very much older generation.

Borling's view of what's important: do the best you can with what you have, right where you are.
