On Thursday, May 26th 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency held a Memorial Day Celebration and welcomed August Turak as their modern day Renaissance Man and the guest speaker. With 40 years of protecting health and the environment, the United States Environmental Protection Agency knows what it means to recognize the selfless service of others and continues to strive towards what Turak describes as a Transformational Organization. Turak demonstrates through stories and case studies why motivation and passion are in short supply and why these are the two most important things in life.

All military families have one thing in common: they constantly face the challenges inherent in the call to serve. Brother John is a story for anyone called to struggle with themselves; it is a story for all of us. It is offered here in tribute to the military and military families – those who are constantly engaged in the personal struggle to defend democracy, freedom, and the United States of America and who hold up a shared umbrella for us all.
