Marine Maxims is a collection of fifty principle-based leadership lessons that Thomas J. Gordon acquired commanding Marines over a career spanning three decades of service. Dealing with the complexities and challenges of the contemporary operating environment requires an internal moral compass fixed true. These maxims focus on developing inner citadels of character, moral courage, and the resilience to persevere in a contested domain where information is key. Its purpose is to provide future leaders with a professional development plan that will steel their resolve and enable them to lead with honor. Thematically, these maxims build upon a foundation of character, courage, and will. To be effective, a leader must model and inspire the will to persevere in the face of danger or adversity. The essence of effective leadership is credibility. A leader’s credibility is derived from a congruence of competence and character. Exceptional leaders are not remembered for what they accomplished, but how they did it. Those that lead with integrity will be remembered as a leader worth following.

Jake Two loves dominated my life: Allison, who I'd loved since we were kids, and the Marine corp. I wanted to be a Marine, and as soon as I was 18, I was in - and so was Allison, right by my side. Always by my side until THAT mission: the one that took her from me. The one that tore out my heart... the one that made the ring I had ready to give nothing. I knew something had gone wrong with that mission, but my superiors wouldn't give me any answers, so I left. I couldn't take the pain, so I headed to the peacefulness of the mountains, to the small town of Adams. Sure, it's a lot different than Boston, but that's exactly what I need. It's pure. It's peaceful. Life's quieter there. The locals are friendly. So, I built a bar, and they love it. There's never been a bar like mine in the small town of Adams. Lots of beautiful women flirt with me, but none of them can reach me until one night, the only woman that could breach my defenses does: she sees my pain, puts a balm on my soul, begins to rescue my heart, gives me belief in love again, my angel... can she save me? Holly He blew into town - all rage and pain in his eyes. He thought no one could see, but I could. I think I fell for him right away, but knowing how the wounded respond, I just became part of the landscape in that bar he built.

We would exchange a few words here and there; and the longer I focused on him, the more I fell. I knew I was doomed to love and have not, until one night, the storm outside, matched the storm inside him. I saw his pain, and went to help ... and he let me. But will he really let me in all the way?
