MEDAL OF HONOR

“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” —Calvin Coolidge “We do not take action to gain or prove we are valuable, we take action to gain results and discover more of who we already are.” —Michael E. Angier "Who you are makes a difference."

You Have Been Awarded the I bestow this award upon you with my sincere appreciation for who you are and what you contribute to the world. Your unique and special gifts make my life and that of others better. You have earned the Medal of Honor. There is only one condition on your acceptance of this honor—that you award the Medal of Honor to another individual of your choosing. As you confer this award upon someone whom you admire and appreciate, you will begin a process that will touch the lives of thousands of others. An acknowledgement from a friend or an appreciative word from a family member affects not only the recipient, but everyone with whom they come in contact. As Mother Teresa said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” A thoughtful acknowledgement at the right time has helped to heal much suffering and allowed people to overcome great challenges. Namasté (the Spirit in me salutes the Spirit in you).
