    Special Veteran's Day Edition eNEWSLETTER The Faces of Rural Transit Veterans MISSOURI RTAP eNEWSLETTER LETTER FROM MISSOURI RTAP Dear Transit Veterans, This special edition eNewsletter recognizes and honors all veterans associated with Missouri rural transit agencies. Heath, Kristi and I would like to thank each one of you for serving in the military for the greatest nation in history. A veteran has patriotism and love of country while being humble, courageous and loyal. Moreover, he or she is fearless, selfless, and willing to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Simply stated, a veteran is someone who, at some point in life, wrote a check to the United States of America for an amount up to and including his or her life. No other commitment matches this great sacrifice to our country. I am an Air Force veteran and extremely proud of my 20 years active duty service to my country and her people. Being in the military changed my life in the very best ways. I come from a long line of veterans, including my father, many uncles, many cousins, and my youngest brothers. Service to country runs in my family. However, I am the only woman in my large family to serve in the military as well as the first to serve 20 years and retire. To share a sweet story that happened years ago at a Columbia hospital, I was at the bistro for coffee. Standing in front of me were a WWII veteran and his wife. Looking at his tiny frame and kind, gentle face underneath his WWII Veteran hat, brought tears to my eyes as I imagined the horrors he must have seen and the comrades he lost in the biggest and deadliest war in history.

    United States Marine Corps Informational Gallery

    UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS INFORMATIONAL GALLERY Tun Tavern: Ask any Marine. Just ask. He will tell you that the Marine Corps was born in Tun Tavern on 10 November 1775. But, beyond that the Marine's recollection for detail will probably get fuzzy. So, here is the straight scoop: In the year 1685, Samuel Carpenter built a huge "brew house" in Philadelphia. He located this tavern on the waterfront at the corner of Water Street and Tun Alley. The old English word tun means a cask, barrel, or keg of beer. So, with his new beer tavern on Tun Alley, Carpenter elected to christen the new waterfront brewery with a logical name, Tun Tavern. Tun Tavern quickly gained a reputation for serving fine beer. Beginning 47 years later in 1732, the first meetings of the St. John's No. 1 Lodge of the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Temple were held in the tavern. An American of note, Benjamin Franklin, was its third Grand Master. Even today the Masonic Temple of Philadelphia recognizes Tun Tavern as the birthplace of Masonic teachings in America. Roughly ten years later in the early 1740s, the new proprietor expanded Tun Tavern and gave the addition a new name, "Peggy Mullan's Red Hot Beef Steak Club at Tun Tavern." The new restaurant became a smashing commercial success and was patronized by notable Americans. In 1747 the St. Andrews Society, a charitable group dedicated to assisting poor immigrants from Scotland, was founded in the tavern. Nine years later, then Col. Benjamin Franklin organized the Pennsylvania Militia.

Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis supported a series of inductive suppositions. Section 2 of the Capstone combines experiential pre and post-military stories and six qualitative interviews with military leaders to pinpoint five leadership tendencies drawn from the literature. Section 3 details qualitative interviews with senior culinary leaders. The research identified the following five high- performance tendencies: (1) Indoctrination, (2) Sustained Standards of Excellence, (3) Competency, (4) Care for Others, and (5) Adaptability. A short questionnaire helped newly appointed leaders self-assess their leadership approach to see if they implement any of the tendencies in their current environment.
