I love the way your book starts. In fact, this book is built around several different characteristics of leadership: character, discipline, excellence, service, getting the job done. But your first chapter\u2014this is why I started pounding the table with Bob\u2014your first chapter begins with the theme of leadership called\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Servant Leadership is the introduction and the first chapter is Mission\u2014it\u2019s all about <em>mission<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Knowing what your mission is\u2014that\u2019s important in the military because\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Because the military is the one institution that we have, in America, charged with two things: saving lives and taking lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt is the one institution that <em>explicitly<\/em> tells the people who join it: \u201cYour life is no longer about yourself. Your life is about something else. It\u2019s bigger and it\u2019s more important than your own happiness or your own comfort. If you have to sacrifice those two things, that is okay.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt is the one institution that still does that; and if you\u2019re going to ask people to do that, they have to know why. They have to know: \u201cWhat is my mission? If you\u2019re going to send me to a foreign nation and ask me to possibly die, it better be worth it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Mission statements are kind of big in business these days: \u201cYou ought to have a mission statement \/ you ought to know where you\u2019re headed.\u201d Do you understand your mission as a leader in the Campbell household?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> I try. I try. As you may know\u2014with three daughters, sometimes, my mission can get obscured by the incessant clamoring of my children. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You haven\u2019t been through the teenage years yet.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> That\u2019s right; that\u2019s right. So, I can\u2019t complain. It\u2019s a great point. I truly have no idea what\u2019s in store. Christy and I really try to be intentional about this; and we try to say, \u201cLook, our job, as Christians, is to be and make disciples.\u201d So our children\u2014we have a sacred charge to make our children disciples of Christ\u2014and not just that\u2014we have a sacred charge to make our children women\u2014and now, that I\u2019m having a boy\u2014young men of character. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI will tell you that this last year was the first year my wife and I went through and wrote down the goals for each of our children, and the goals for ourselves for the year, and then what we\u2019re going to do to achieve those goals. We tried to be intentional, but we were not nearly where we needed to be.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You said something in your book about mission that I want to read to our audience, and I want you to comment on it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou said, \u201cWithout an overarching, all-encompassing mission that focuses us away from ourselves, we have no compelling reason to serve anything other than ourselves.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> That\u2019s exactly right. The great irony is that the more we serve ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves and the less likely we are to find happiness, purpose, and meaning.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I want you to share the story of that fire fight in Ramadi in 2004, where you came to that discovery.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> So, the thing about combat is\u2014when you first go into it, you think to yourself: \u201cHmm. I\u2019ll probably make it out of this alive. I\u2019m really good at what I do. We\u2019re all highly-trained. If I just train hard and work hard, we\u2019re going to make it out.\u201d Then, you go into combat. You realize that that\u2019s not the case\u2014you get blown off your feet by a rocket. Now, you start realizing, \u201cWait a second, it doesn\u2019t matter how good I am, how talented I am, and how trained we are\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014we\u2019re going to get wounded, and we very well may die.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was probably the first three or four months in combat that I really held on to the idea that I was just going to be good enough that I\u2019d make it back. Then, there was a moment when I said: \u201cYou know what? It\u2019s not about me making it back. I am essentially already dead.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I\u2019m not focused on myself anymore. I don\u2019t leave the base, every morning, thinking to myself, \u201cHow am I going to come back?\u201d I leave the base every morning, now because I know it\u2019s not about me anymore. I leave the base, now, thinking: \u201cHow can I get the job done? How can I take care of my Marines?\u201d No longer is it, \u201cHow can I keep Donovan Campbell alive?\u201d It\u2019s, \u201cHow can I do what I was put here to do, and how can I take care of others as I do it?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You know, on a conceptual level, what you\u2019re talking about is easy for me to understand and go, \u201cThat\u2019s the right focus.\u201d On a practical level\u2014when, all of a sudden, you\u2019re in danger \/ when you\u2019re in combat and bullets are flying\u2014I would think there\u2019d be some self-preservation instinct that would just kick in.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Well, there is a self-preservation instinct that kicks in, but the shift is kind of two-fold. It\u2019s on a philosophical level. I can, literally, remember a time when I said: \u201cYou know what? I\u2019m probably just going to die, and that\u2019s okay because I\u2019m not here to live. I\u2019m here to take care of my Marines. I\u2019m here to accomplish the mission. That\u2019s what you do as a leader. You don\u2019t serve yourself\u2014period. Okay; got it.\u201d So that was the philosophical shift.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, there are the day-in \/ day-out tactical decisions; right? The first time, where I told myself, \u201cI\u2019m really proud to be a lieutenant,\u201d was when we had an RPG attack on an Army convoy that was sitting right outside this anti-American mosque we had been asked to search in the middle of the day. So, my guys cordoned it off; another platoon was hitting the mosque. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis Army convoy pulls up. It\u2019s stringing along the street. It\u2019s about 50-feet wide. I\u2019m looking at them; and I\u2019m like: \u201cYou guys are going to get attacked. In fact, we\u2019re all going to get attacked. I promise you, we\u2019re all going to get attacked. We\u2019re just sitting here in midday. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s just what happens when you sit here in midday in Ramadi.\u201d So I went up to them and said: \u201cYou guys should spread out a little bit. They\u2019re going to hit us, blah, blah, blah.\u201d They didn\u2019t. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSure enough, an RPG hit\u2014blew up one of the tracks. People started scattering everywhere\u2014machine gun fire started raining down. Everyone on the street, who was standing\u2014all of a sudden, they vanished. They\u2019re all taking cover, except two guys\u2014it was me and one other guy. I look across the street. This other guy is standing up straight, and he is running as fast as he can to where the fire is coming from; and I\u2019m doing the exact same thing. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe are both running, as fast as we can, to where the machine gun fire is coming from because we are both lieutenants. It is our job, while everyone else takes cover, to figure out what is happening so that we can make sure: one, we take effective action; and two, if there\u2019s anyone wounded, we can save them. Our job is to stand up in the middle of fire and run at that fire so that we can take care of others, and we can accomplish the mission. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, you have this philosophical shift\u2014you have this day-in \/ day-out sort of tactical decisions you have to make, \u201cDo I take cover, or do I run at the machine gun fire?\u201d Sometimes, you do the first. Sometimes, you do the second; but typically, if you\u2019re a leader, you have to do the second.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I\u2019m stunned by the image you\u2019re creating; and yet, as I really listen to what Jesus said, He called us to deny ourselves\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> \u201cTake up your cross and follow Me\u201d; absolutely!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014and to run toward the finish line, and toward enemy fire, and to represent Him\u2014be on a mission. That\u2019s really what you\u2019re calling men and women to do in this book\u2014in their marriages, in their families, at work, in their community.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> That\u2019s exactly right. One of my favorite passages is Matthew 6:19 through 34, where Christ says: \u201cListen. You can\u2019t serve two masters. You\u2019re either going to love one or you\u2019re going to hate the other; and you need to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut you have to seek that first. That\u2019s your <em>mission<\/em>. You cannot serve another master\u2014it\u2019s just not possible! It\u2019s hard to stay on mission \/ it\u2019s not an easy thing, but I think you have to know what it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Donovan, the image I have in my head\u2014of you running toward the fire\u2014is an image of a teeth-gritted, \u201cI\u2019m going for it.\u201d The quiver I hear in your voice, as you tell the story, is a different part of you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Oh, no. The reality is\u2014when you\u2019re standing up and you\u2019re running, you\u2019re like: \u201cOh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! I\u2019m probably going to get shot. Okay, well, just keep running.\u201d I mean, it is not this sort of macho, terminator-istic guy that\u2019s running around. It\u2019s just a scared 24-year-old, who knows he has a responsibility. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe reason that all of my guys\u2014these 18-, 19-, 20-, and 21-year-olds are able to do these amazing things\u2014it isn\u2019t because they are abnormal, just <em>crazy<\/em> human beings. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s because they\u2019re normal human beings who are held to a really high standard. Then, they\u2019re told, \u201cYou have a responsibility.\u201d So yes, there is this\u2014when you picture me\u2014really picture a scared 24-year-old, thinking to himself: \u201cI may get shot. Okay, but I\u2019ve got to keep running!\u201d That\u2019s what you should picture.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I think of that imagery, as well, in thinking about what\u2019s taking place in marriages and families today\u2014and how people, instead of running toward enemy fire, are bailing. They\u2019re bailing out on their family. They\u2019re bailing out on their marriage. They\u2019re not protecting. They\u2019re not on mission to protect their sons and daughters against, what you know is around the corner or even what\u2019s happening today. That mission should direct what\u2019s taking place\u2014in a single man\u2019s life, a single woman, a married couple, or a family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> It has got to affect every facet of your life\u2014from how you work at your job, to how you lead yourself, to how you treat your husband or how you treat your wife, and to how you raise your children.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf you don\u2019t know why you\u2019re doing all those things, then chances are you\u2019re going to do a number of them poorly\u2014I really think that that is true. I mean, if you don\u2019t know what a commitment means and why God has created the institution\u2014marriage is a sacred institution. He asked us to enter into it with the same commitment that Christ made to the church by dying for them \/ giving Himself up for them. If you don\u2019t understand that, it\u2019s really hard to stick through when times get tough. We\u2019ve done three deployments, and I can assure you there have been tough times in our marriage. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I thought about marriage. I thought about the tombstone test\u2014you talk about the tombstone test. That applies in marriage; doesn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> I think it does.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Explain what the tombstone test is for a listener.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> One of the ways is to ask yourself: \u201cOkay, what should my mission be? What really matters? What\u2019s really important?\u201d\u2014is to ask yourself: \u201cAs I\u2019m being lowered into the ground, what do I want written on my tombstone? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhat would be one or two sentences that people want to remember\u2014I want people to remember me for \/ I want to be known for? When I\u2019m standing before God, I want to be able to say, \u2018God, here is what I did for You.\u2019\u201d That is, I think, the tombstone test.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019ve seen a lot of tombstones, and no one talks about someone\u2019s bank account. I\u2019ve never seen, written on a tombstone, \u201cHe made the number four quarters in a row.\u201d What I have seen is, \u201cLoving father \/ devoted husband.\u201d So, I think it\u2019s worth thinking: \u201cIf that\u2019s what we want written on our tombstone, then how do I make sure that that can be written honestly \/ with integrity today? How do I direct my energy, my time, my effort, to make that a reality?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We, in recent months, have been talking a lot about courage, here on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou just exemplified that in you being on a mission\u2014protecting your men and running toward enemy fire. I have to ask you my favorite question\u2014it\u2019s this, Donovan: \u201cWhat is the most courageous thing you\u2019ve ever done in all your life?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Well, some people might argue that it was asking my wife to marry me because I was clearly out of my league\u2014punching way above my weight class\u2014no question about that! [Laughter] It took a lot of guts\u2014a lot of guts for that one. Everyone who knows me would say: \u201cYes! That is very true.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s a <em>great<\/em> question, and I think about that. One of the things the book talks about, and that we were taught in the Marines, that there are two different types of courage. There is <em>physical<\/em> courage, which risks life and limb; and then, there\u2019s moral courage, which risks careers, lives, or livelihoods to speak the truth to power; right? So let me answer along both of those lines.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPhysical courage: The day that we were asked to go\u2014and we didn\u2019t know it at the time\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but we were asked to, essentially, go and spend eight to twelve hours fighting, house to house, in Ramadi. I had no idea that was going to happen, but the way it started was\u2014I got shaken one morning \/ saying: \u201cHey, sir, sir, sir. The third platoon has been hit. They\u2019ve got a couple wounded. They\u2019re scattered throughout the city. You\u2019re the QRF,\u201d\u2014Quick Reaction Force\u2014\u201cGo find them and pull them out.\u201d \u201cOkay; got it.\u201d I had gone to bed at like four that morning because we were patrolling all night\u2014so, we were really tired. We mounted up our vehicles, drove into the city\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay; just stop for a second. How big is this city?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> A city of about 400,000 people. It\u2019s more population-dense than Washington, DC, or New York City; but you can walk across it in about 45 minutes. So, it\u2019s a ton of people packed into this really, really dense urban core. The buildings mostly are two- and three- and some five- and ten-story buildings\u2014that are all packed really close together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe drive to the southern end of the city, and all I can hear is gunfire. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe have no idea where third platoon is. We see this smoke rising up in the distance. We\u2019re like, \u201cWell, they\u2019re probably in that area.\u201d So, we all get off of our trucks because you can\u2019t drive them through the city\u2014they\u2019re too big. We just start running at that gunfire and that smoke until we hit really fierce resistance. We, basically, get pinned down by machine guns; and we spend the day fighting, house to house. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAt one point in time I had a grenade land about two feet in front of me. I thought: \u201cOh, I\u2019m dead. That\u2019s the end of it.\u201d But it didn\u2019t go off; and then, our guys threw grenades back toward them. The bad guys would throw grenades over one wall; we\u2019d throw our own back over the same wall. That\u2019s what we did all day-long\u2014that\u2019s what we did. Then, we did the same thing the next day. I would say, as it relates to physical courage, that day was probably the one that sticks out in my mind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs it relates to moral courage\u2014which I think may have been harder\u2014it was when I got a telegram that said, \u201cYou have been involuntarily recalled.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was at Harvard Business School. It was my second year of business school. I had a great job lined up with PepsiCo\u2014I was really excited to start that. And I got a telegram in the mail that said, basically: \u201cCongratulations, Captain Campbell. You\u2019ve been involuntarily recalled. You need to serve a third tour.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat was so hard there was\u2014I knew <em>exactly<\/em> what I was getting into. The second tour\u2014I hadn\u2019t fought that hard before \/ I hadn\u2019t been in that type of combat\u2014I didn\u2019t know what I was getting into. But the third tour, I knew. I remember coming home. I had broken my leg, and I could barely run because I had just gotten my cast off and done all the rehab. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember talking to my wife \/ we were talking about it\u2014I said: \u201cI know I can get out of this because I can barely run; but when I signed those papers, I gave my word. I didn\u2019t say, \u2018Hey, I\u2019ll go back if it\u2019s convenient for me,\u2019 or, \u2018I\u2019ll go back if you really, really need me and can prove it to me.\u2019 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhen I signed those papers, I said, \u2018I\u2019ll serve you for four years\u2014and for four years, thereafter, if you need me back and you call me, I\u2019ll show up.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, they called; and I didn\u2019t want to do it. I knew what I was getting into. I knew it was going to be <em>hard<\/em>. I knew I could get out of it, but my wife and I talked about it\u2014she said: \u201cYou gave your word. You have to keep it. It\u2019s just that simple.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, to do what was right, I went back. I spent another year away from my wife, and missed my oldest daughter\u2019s second year of life, and went to Afghanistan. I only got blown up once there\u2014so it wasn\u2019t that bad of a tour, in all honesty.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I have done this before in a similar interview\u2014not exactly the same\u2014but to the widow of a Seal Team Six member. \u201cThank you!\u201d [Emotion in voice] You bring a face to war and the courage that\u2019s demanded of a 24- or 25-year-old.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Do you want to know who showed real courage that day? It was my wife because she knows exactly what it\u2019s like to be the one who sits at home when the news is turned on\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014and all that she sees is \u201cTen Marines Dead in Ramadi.\u201d She doesn\u2019t know, for a <em>week<\/em>, if I\u2019m alive or if I\u2019m dead. She knows she\u2019s about to be a single mom for a year; and she\u2019s still telling her husband: \u201cYou gave your word. You have to go and do it. That\u2019s what God would have you do. I will shoulder the load while you\u2019re gone.\u201d That is a brave woman, right there. I have a <em>ton<\/em> of respect for her. She showed <em>way<\/em> more courage in doing that than I did because it\u2019s a lot harder to get left behind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Courage is doing your duty in the face of fear.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> It is overcoming fear. That is exactly right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I hear that and I think so often about\u2014I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the second or the third verse in the song, <em>America the Beautiful<\/em>, where it says, \u201cOh beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>22:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that applies to the wives, the spouses, the children of all who have served or are serving in harm\u2019s way. Of course, this is a good opportunity today to think about that as we focus on our independence and the price that was paid that we might be free. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet me also mention that we have copies of the book that Donovan has written called <em>The Leader\u2019s Code<\/em>.

Christy and I really try to be intentional about this; and we try to say, \u201cLook, our job, as Christians, is to be and make disciples.\u201d So our children\u2014we have a sacred charge to make our children disciples of Christ\u2014and not just that\u2014we have a sacred charge to make our children women\u2014and now, that I\u2019m having a boy\u2014young men of character. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI will tell you that this last year was the first year my wife and I went through and wrote down the goals for each of our children, and the goals for ourselves for the year, and then what we\u2019re going to do to achieve those goals.

How can I take care of my Marines?\u201d No longer is it, \u201cHow can I keep Donovan Campbell alive?\u201d It\u2019s, \u201cHow can I do what I was put here to do, and how can I take care of others as I do it?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You know, on a conceptual level, what you\u2019re talking about is easy for me to understand and go, \u201cThat\u2019s the right focus.\u201d On a practical level\u2014when, all of a sudden, you\u2019re in danger \/ when you\u2019re in combat and bullets are flying\u2014I would think there\u2019d be some self-preservation instinct that would just kick in.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Well, there is a self-preservation instinct that kicks in, but the shift is kind of two-fold. It\u2019s on a philosophical level. I can, literally, remember a time when I said: \u201cYou know what? I\u2019m probably just going to die, and that\u2019s okay because I\u2019m not here to live. I\u2019m here to take care of my Marines. I\u2019m here to accomplish the mission. That\u2019s what you do as a leader. You don\u2019t serve yourself\u2014period. Okay; got it.\u201d So that was the philosophical shift.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, there are the day-in \/ day-out tactical decisions; right? The first time, where I told myself, \u201cI\u2019m really proud to be a lieutenant,\u201d was when we had an RPG attack on an Army convoy that was sitting right outside this anti-American mosque we had been asked to search in the middle of the day. So, my guys cordoned it off; another platoon was hitting the mosque. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis Army convoy pulls up. It\u2019s stringing along the street. It\u2019s about 50-feet wide. I\u2019m looking at them; and I\u2019m like: \u201cYou guys are going to get attacked. In fact, we\u2019re all going to get attacked. I promise you, we\u2019re all going to get attacked. We\u2019re just sitting here in midday. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s just what happens when you sit here in midday in Ramadi.\u201d So I went up to them and said: \u201cYou guys should spread out a little bit. They\u2019re going to hit us, blah, blah, blah.\u201d They didn\u2019t. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSure enough, an RPG hit\u2014blew up one of the tracks. People started scattering everywhere\u2014machine gun fire started raining down. Everyone on the street, who was standing\u2014all of a sudden, they vanished. They\u2019re all taking cover, except two guys\u2014it was me and one other guy. I look across the street. This other guy is standing up straight, and he is running as fast as he can to where the fire is coming from; and I\u2019m doing the exact same thing. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe are both running, as fast as we can, to where the machine gun fire is coming from because we are both lieutenants. It is our job, while everyone else takes cover, to figure out what is happening so that we can make sure: one, we take effective action; and two, if there\u2019s anyone wounded, we can save them. Our job is to stand up in the middle of fire and run at that fire so that we can take care of others, and we can accomplish the mission. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, you have this philosophical shift\u2014you have this day-in \/ day-out sort of tactical decisions you have to make, \u201cDo I take cover, or do I run at the machine gun fire?\u201d Sometimes, you do the first. Sometimes, you do the second; but typically, if you\u2019re a leader, you have to do the second.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I\u2019m stunned by the image you\u2019re creating; and yet, as I really listen to what Jesus said, He called us to deny ourselves\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> \u201cTake up your cross and follow Me\u201d; absolutely!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014and to run toward the finish line, and toward enemy fire, and to represent Him\u2014be on a mission.

One of my favorite passages is Matthew 6:19 through 34, where Christ says: \u201cListen. You can\u2019t serve two masters. You\u2019re either going to love one or you\u2019re going to hate the other; and you need to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut you have to seek that first.

It\u2019s hard to stay on mission \/ it\u2019s not an easy thing, but I think you have to know what it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Donovan, the image I have in my head\u2014of you running toward the fire\u2014is an image of a teeth-gritted, \u201cI\u2019m going for it.\u201d The quiver I hear in your voice, as you tell the story, is a different part of you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Oh, no. The reality is\u2014when you\u2019re standing up and you\u2019re running, you\u2019re like: \u201cOh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! I\u2019m probably going to get shot. Okay, well, just keep running.\u201d I mean, it is not this sort of macho, terminator-istic guy that\u2019s running around. It\u2019s just a scared 24-year-old, who knows he has a responsibility. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe reason that all of my guys\u2014these 18-, 19-, 20-, and 21-year-olds are able to do these amazing things\u2014it isn\u2019t because they are abnormal, just <em>crazy<\/em> human beings. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s because they\u2019re normal human beings who are held to a really high standard. Then, they\u2019re told, \u201cYou have a responsibility.\u201d So yes, there is this\u2014when you picture me\u2014really picture a scared 24-year-old, thinking to himself: \u201cI may get shot. Okay, but I\u2019ve got to keep running!\u201d That\u2019s what you should picture.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I think of that imagery, as well, in thinking about what\u2019s taking place in marriages and families today\u2014and how people, instead of running toward enemy fire, are bailing. They\u2019re bailing out on their family. They\u2019re bailing out on their marriage. They\u2019re not protecting. They\u2019re not on mission to protect their sons and daughters against, what you know is around the corner or even what\u2019s happening today. That mission should direct what\u2019s taking place\u2014in a single man\u2019s life, a single woman, a married couple, or a family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> It has got to affect every facet of your life\u2014from how you work at your job, to how you lead yourself, to how you treat your husband or how you treat your wife, and to how you raise your children.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf you don\u2019t know why you\u2019re doing all those things, then chances are you\u2019re going to do a number of them poorly\u2014I really think that that is true. I mean, if you don\u2019t know what a commitment means and why God has created the institution\u2014marriage is a sacred institution. He asked us to enter into it with the same commitment that Christ made to the church by dying for them \/ giving Himself up for them. If you don\u2019t understand that, it\u2019s really hard to stick through when times get tough. We\u2019ve done three deployments, and I can assure you there have been tough times in our marriage. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I thought about marriage.

What really matters? What\u2019s really important?\u201d\u2014is to ask yourself: \u201cAs I\u2019m being lowered into the ground, what do I want written on my tombstone? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhat would be one or two sentences that people want to remember\u2014I want people to remember me for \/ I want to be known for? When I\u2019m standing before God, I want to be able to say, \u2018God, here is what I did for You.\u2019\u201d That is, I think, the tombstone test.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019ve seen a lot of tombstones, and no one talks about someone\u2019s bank account. I\u2019ve never seen, written on a tombstone, \u201cHe made the number four quarters in a row.\u201d What I have seen is, \u201cLoving father \/ devoted husband.\u201d So, I think it\u2019s worth thinking: \u201cIf that\u2019s what we want written on our tombstone, then how do I make sure that that can be written honestly \/ with integrity today? How do I direct my energy, my time, my effort, to make that a reality?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We, in recent months, have been talking a lot about courage, here on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou just exemplified that in you being on a mission\u2014protecting your men and running toward enemy fire. I have to ask you my favorite question\u2014it\u2019s this, Donovan: \u201cWhat is the most courageous thing you\u2019ve ever done in all your life?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> Well, some people might argue that it was asking my wife to marry me because I was clearly out of my league\u2014punching way above my weight class\u2014no question about that! [Laughter] It took a lot of guts\u2014a lot of guts for that one. Everyone who knows me would say: \u201cYes! That is very true.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s a <em>great<\/em> question, and I think about that. One of the things the book talks about, and that we were taught in the Marines, that there are two different types of courage. There is <em>physical<\/em> courage, which risks life and limb; and then, there\u2019s moral courage, which risks careers, lives, or livelihoods to speak the truth to power; right? So let me answer along both of those lines.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPhysical courage: The day that we were asked to go\u2014and we didn\u2019t know it at the time\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but we were asked to, essentially, go and spend eight to twelve hours fighting, house to house, in Ramadi. I had no idea that was going to happen, but the way it started was\u2014I got shaken one morning \/ saying: \u201cHey, sir, sir, sir. The third platoon has been hit. They\u2019ve got a couple wounded. They\u2019re scattered throughout the city. You\u2019re the QRF,\u201d\u2014Quick Reaction Force\u2014\u201cGo find them and pull them out.\u201d \u201cOkay; got it.\u201d I had gone to bed at like four that morning because we were patrolling all night\u2014so, we were really tired. We mounted up our vehicles, drove into the city\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay; just stop for a second. How big is this city?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> A city of about 400,000 people. It\u2019s more population-dense than Washington, DC, or New York City; but you can walk across it in about 45 minutes. So, it\u2019s a ton of people packed into this really, really dense urban core. The buildings mostly are two- and three- and some five- and ten-story buildings\u2014that are all packed really close together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe drive to the southern end of the city, and all I can hear is gunfire. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe have no idea where third platoon is. We see this smoke rising up in the distance. We\u2019re like, \u201cWell, they\u2019re probably in that area.\u201d So, we all get off of our trucks because you can\u2019t drive them through the city\u2014they\u2019re too big. We just start running at that gunfire and that smoke until we hit really fierce resistance. We, basically, get pinned down by machine guns; and we spend the day fighting, house to house. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAt one point in time I had a grenade land about two feet in front of me. I thought: \u201cOh, I\u2019m dead. That\u2019s the end of it.\u201d But it didn\u2019t go off; and then, our guys threw grenades back toward them. The bad guys would throw grenades over one wall; we\u2019d throw our own back over the same wall. That\u2019s what we did all day-long\u2014that\u2019s what we did. Then, we did the same thing the next day. I would say, as it relates to physical courage, that day was probably the one that sticks out in my mind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs it relates to moral courage\u2014which I think may have been harder\u2014it was when I got a telegram that said, \u201cYou have been involuntarily recalled.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was at Harvard Business School.

I remember coming home. I had broken my leg, and I could barely run because I had just gotten my cast off and done all the rehab. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember talking to my wife \/ we were talking about it\u2014I said: \u201cI know I can get out of this because I can barely run; but when I signed those papers, I gave my word. I didn\u2019t say, \u2018Hey, I\u2019ll go back if it\u2019s convenient for me,\u2019 or, \u2018I\u2019ll go back if you really, really need me and can prove it to me.\u2019 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhen I signed those papers, I said, \u2018I\u2019ll serve you for four years\u2014and for four years, thereafter, if you need me back and you call me, I\u2019ll show up.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, they called; and I didn\u2019t want to do it.

It was my wife because she knows exactly what it\u2019s like to be the one who sits at home when the news is turned on\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014and all that she sees is \u201cTen Marines Dead in Ramadi.\u201d She doesn\u2019t know, for a <em>week<\/em>, if I\u2019m alive or if I\u2019m dead. She knows she\u2019s about to be a single mom for a year; and she\u2019s still telling her husband: \u201cYou gave your word. You have to go and do it. That\u2019s what God would have you do. I will shoulder the load while you\u2019re gone.\u201d That is a brave woman, right there. I have a <em>ton<\/em> of respect for her. She showed <em>way<\/em> more courage in doing that than I did because it\u2019s a lot harder to get left behind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Courage is doing your duty in the face of fear.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Donovan:<\/strong> It is overcoming fear. That is exactly right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I hear that and I think so often about\u2014I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the second or the third verse in the song, <em>America the Beautiful<\/em>, where it says, \u201cOh beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>22:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that applies to the wives, the spouses, the children of all who have served or are serving in harm\u2019s way. Of course, this is a good opportunity today to think about that as we focus on our independence and the price that was paid that we might be free. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet me also mention that we have copies of the book that Donovan has written called <em>The Leader\u2019s Code<\/em>.

Today, they celebrate their 30th anniversary. \u201cCongratulations!\u201d to the Ruckels on 30 years of marriage together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>23:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThanks for listening to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe think anniversaries and marriages matter\u2014especially in our culture today.
