Sunday is a good day for reflection.

Over the last week, Compass Points readers have generated online and off a cornucopia of comments, insights, and analysis. Compass Points salutes all readers who in their own ways are continuing to build the discussion about a stronger Marine Corps, and also thanks all our readers who served as seminar leaders this week by providing topics, articles, and comments. Many thanks!

Author Jen Zwinck has investigated the 911 system in the United States.
