Earlier this year, I had another opportunity to hear Admiral James Stavridis, USN - Supreme Allied Commander Europe - speak in person. On this occasion it was at the U.S. Naval Institute Honors Night Commemorating the Naval Institute's 137th Anniversary. He gave the keynote speech titled, "Whispers on a Wall." You can find the text over at my home blog "CDR Salamander" - but as with most speeches, it is better listened to. For this Christmas, EagleOne and I will provide you this gift. The audio is rough, so be patient; is is worth it.
