Have you ever been totally commited to something? - that was the title
of article written by a colleague of mine.He is a retired military
diabled veteran.
He continues - if you ever served in the U.S.Armed Forces, you served
under what is known as unlimited liability. Simply stated, it means you
could possibly die by serving.
A pig and a hen are discussing world hunger. The hen suggests that
together they can make a committment by feeding the hungry.
"We can feed them ham and eggs" said the hen. "That's fine for you to
say",said the pig "for you it's only a contribution, for me it's a
total commitment."
Total commitment is knowing that you might not come back in one piece
or maybe return in that flag draped casket, but you go anyway - you
know that you may be maimed for life or your remains may never be found-
that is total commitment.
