When I was in the waiting area holding
up to take my turn to appear before the
Board of Veterans Appeals in Washington
last week, there was a bulletin board
with all kinds of employee postings
right near where I was sitting. I pulled
out my pen and wrote down one of the
postings they had in the middle of
the board:

CORE VALUES
____________

Commitment

Courtesy

Compassion

Timeliness

Thoroughness

Communication




Unfortunately Truthful
and Accurate Documents, Honor,
and Integrity were noticeably
missing from the list.
