Honor
This month, we will be learning about Honor. What is honor? The word honor has multiple meanings. Some of them are:
Respect
A feeling of pride or pleasure from being shown respect, or the act of showing respect to someone or something. For example, “It is an honor to meet you.”
Title
A title of respect for a high-ranking official, such as a judge or mayor. For example, “if your Honor please”.
Recognition
A public celebration or recognition of someone or something. For example, “the newlyweds were honored with a dinner given by the bride’s grandmother”.
Privilege
The privilege of being associated with or receiving a favor from a respected person, group, or organization. For example, “I had the honor of serving on the Pulitzer Prize jury.”
Evidence
A symbol or evidence of great respect, such as a title or medal.
Quality
A quality of a person that manifests itself as a code of conduct, including elements such as honesty, compassion, chivalry, and valor.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Ellis Island closes
On November 12, 1954, Ellis Island, the gateway to America, shuts it doors after processing more than 12 million immigrants since opening in 1892. Today, tens of millions of Americans can trace their roots through Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor off the New Jersey coast and named for merchant Samuel Ellis, who owned the land in the 1770s.
Immigration to Ellis Island peaked between 1892 and 1924, during which time the 3.3-acre island was enlarged with landfill (by the 1930s it reached its current 27.5-acre size) and additional buildings were constructed to handle the massive influx of immigrants. During the busiest year of operation, 1907, over 1 million people were processed at Ellis Island.
UPDATES
This month’s Warrior Virtue Theme is: Gratitude
What is Gratitude? Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation or thankfulness for kindness or generosity received from someone or something.
What are you grateful for? Have you shown gratitude towards someone?
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy
