Loyalty
Comes to the front of my mind on this bluebird day in Austin By God Texas the subject of loyalty — a strong feeling of allegiance or fidelity to a person or a cause that results in a sense of heightened duty or devoted attachment.
In school, the military, business, and family, I have been exposed to extraordinary examples of loyalty, been the beneficiary of loyalty, been loyal.
The Virginia Military Institute
There is no more loyal bunch of alumni on the planet than those of my alma mater, The Virginia Military Institute.
