Browning Day’s Post

On This Day In Civil War History: Gettysburg Address Delivered at Gettysburg, Pa. Nov. 19th 1863. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Happy Founder's Day to all who celebrate! While I am no longer working for and with the Brothers of the Christian Schools and their partners, I am the professional I am today because of their careful guidance of my development. As an HR professional, St. John Baptist de La Salle was most certainly someone that I can look to for people management inspiration: his writings (Conduct of Schools, the Letters to the Brothers, Civility and Decorum) could be considered to be his version of employee handbooks. He spent time visiting the various schools and agencies that he sent the Brothers to, and he found himself adjudicating A LOT of employee relations issues between the Brothers. 😬 John Baptist de La Salle's engagement with the early Brothers, the families, and those who he rented space from is a good example of how nimble HR folks need to be with stakeholders. Today isn't just Founder's Day; it is also the day that Pope Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical, "Rarem Novarem," which informs our understanding of the rights of workers. At the time, it was a revolutionary document and it remains prophetic today. He said, "Hence, by degrees it has come to pass that working men have been surrendered, isolated and helpless, to the hardheartedness of employers and the greed of unchecked competition. The mischief has been increased by rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless, under a different guise, but with like injustice, still practiced by covetous and grasping men. To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself." These two contributions for me as an HR professional inform how I work with employees entrusted to my care and, how I try to interact with those I partner with.

Yesterday was Memorial Day, a time to honor and remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. This day always makes me pause and think about the values of dedication, commitment, and integrity that these heroes embodied. As a professional, I find myself deeply inspired by these values. How can we incorporate such unwavering dedication into our daily work? How can we ensure that we are committed to justice and integrity in every case we handle? For me, Memorial Day is not just a day of remembrance, but also a reminder to strive for excellence in all we do. It’s a call to honor those values in our own lives and professions. I’d love to hear your thoughts. How does Memorial Day inspire you in your professional journey? #MemorialDay #Reflection #Values #Dedication #Integrity

Happy Saint Joseph's Day! 🎉 Today, as we celebrate the patron saint of workers and families, let's reflect on the values of integrity, diligence, and compassion that Saint Joseph embodies. Just as he was dedicated to his craft and his family, may we strive to bring these qualities into our everyday business practices. Wishing you all a blessed Saint Joseph's Day! #SaintJosephsDay #BusinessValues #WorkEthic"

Memorial Day: Cultural Icon We the people are united by a common culture, one for which brave citizens fight and die. Culture is purposeful and must be nurtured - this is true for businesses, for communities, and for our nation. Memorial Day is this: a uniting nurturing of our national culture, a communal honoring of those who have given their lives that our culture and values might endure. This culture and these values are enshrined in our Constitution, the guiding principles for this the greatest of nations. On Memorial Day you might visit a cemetery or local graveyard and contemplate how you - yes you - could nurture our culture. I'd imagine that if we each work to nurture our ever-evolving culture we might be more united as a people. Wouldn't this be wonderful? Please say thank you to each flag-decorated grave marker you see. -George PS: what's in a name? A burial ground is a generic term often applied to unorganized fields of graves. A 'graveyard' is organized, as we have near churches and synagogues. 'Cemetery 'is based on the Ancient Greek for 'sleeping place' and is properly used to designate ground dedicated to a particular group, for example as the Arlington National Cemetery is for our military.
