Make It Count!
Spencer Colson Duncan made his life count. He died serving the country he loved.
“Have a great day. Make it count.”
These words were part of the morning ritual in our home as Dale headed out the door to work. His desire for our sons to do their best and to make a difference in the world ran so deeply that on more than one occasion as he was leaving extra early, and in a quiet voice so he didn’t wake up anyone, Dale’s strong but quiet voice would say, “Goodbye, family. Make it count.”
Years later, just weeks before August 6, 2011, we had another conversation with Spencer. As Dale told him goodbye, Spencer replied, “I know, Dad. Make it count.” Spencer lived out those words in the most heroic and profound way, shortly after.
To “make it count” is more than just a steady reminder — it’s a way of living. It means using our gifts not just for ourselves, but to help others. It means striving for our best, even when it would be easier to settle for less. It’s about seeing beyond our own lives and understanding the impact we can have on others.
