DJP Update 9-10-2012 Tomorrow anniversary of terrorist attack USA 9-11-2001
Never forget this horrific attack. Thousands, including the brave responders, died in the attack on 9-11-2001 .
WORLD TRADE CENTER
2,349 Civilians
343 FDNY Firefighters
23 NYPD Police Officers
37 Port Authority Officers
PENTAGON
125 Civilian and Military Personnel
4 Airliners
253 Crew and Passengers
(The numbers are from Fox News Special Program dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks. Dramatic program if you missed it.)
I pay tribute to all the first responders and use the image at N.Y.F.D Midtown I snapped and put in my new book (page 64 of THE LITTLE RED BOOK OF LEADERSHIP LESSONS) to honor those who died from “The Pride of Midtown”. Below is the caption to accompany the fire truck image at their station when I visited them. The statement “NEVER MISSED A PERFORMANCE” is at the top of the windshield.

The statement “Never Missed a Performance” is an important element of leadership, embodying courage and reliability. Noted on April 15, 2012, at the Pride of Midtown, Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9, F.D.N.Y., at corner of 8th Avenue & W 48th St. Seventeen of these heroes made the supreme sacrifice on September 11, 2001 in the terrorist attack.

My new book (c) 2012 #photo honors 17 F.D.N.Y. “Pride of Midtown” who died 9-11-2001. “NEVER MISSED A PERFORMANCE”.

Their sacrifice captures the essence of leadership. Courage and the willingness to risk death to save others. May they R.I.P.
You should watch this tribute to the firemen of NYC. The link was sent to me by Dr. Jeff White of Shreveport, La. Jeff, as most of you know, is in the LSMS Delegation to the AMA.

Hope you will place an order now! THE LITTLE RED BOOK OF LEADERSHIP LESSONS can be pre-ordered at AMAZON. Foreword is by Louisiana Governor Jindal. And yes, I quoted some of you! It has 244 pages of leadership quotes from antiquity to the present time leading to Liberty and 108 illustrations/photographs (most in color). I repeat: Hope you will order a copy now! Book should be at Amazon for delivery by October 23. If everyone on this list placed an order now and all sent out from Amazon as soon as available, the book could get on a best-seller list! With a little help from my friends!! I wanted Americans to reflect on leadership prior to voting in our USA critical election on November 6, 2012.

Travels start again this week! Off to Mystic, Connecticut on Thursday to give a presentation on leadership and medical liability reform to Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS). And perhaps I will answer a question or two about PPACA.
Other upcoming travels include speeches to Hippocrates Society in St. Louis, Missouri on medical liability reform and then Grand Rounds at the hospital, and a speech to the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) at Annual Meeting in San Diego where I will give a presentation entitled: “Leadership in Medicine: Tales from The Little Red Book of Leadership Lessons”.

Stay well!
