The Colonel’s Motivational Quotes for the Day!

The Colonel’s Motivational Quotes for the Day!

Good “Wednesday” Morning Everyone from the “Mobile Eagle’s Nest” in San Antonio, TX — 12 June 2019!

Well, yesterday during Day 10 it was a tough one, spent the entire morning at the Harley-Davidson Dealership in El Paso, TX getting my entire coolant and radiator system replaced on the 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra and thanks to SFC James Shank for being a former Parts Manager there we would still be in El Paso, TX. SGT Billy Mullins and I were able to finally get on the road for a 9 hour ride to San Antonio, TX at 1:00 PM that afternoon and arrived in San Antonio, TX at 11:48 PM at night. Long days ride, but successful. We missed the dinner and some really great veterans last night, but having breakfast with a few this morning. Pictures to follow here on Day 11.

We’re working to raise $50,000 to abolish $5Million in Healthcare Debt for our Veterans. “I need your help in raising that $50,000”. Will you help me & my RIPRIDE4VETS team?

Today is: “Walking Alone Day!” Why Not?

“There’s something really cool about knowing that your destiny is so big that you’re not meant to share it with anyone. At least not yet.” — Mandy Hale

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“It’s better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.” — Diane Grant

“Don’t be scared to walk alone. Don’t be scared to like it.” — John Mayer

“The true Christian can nurture a trustful optimism, because he is certain of not walking alone. In sending us Jesus, the eternal Son made man, God has drawn near to each of us. In Christ he has become our traveling companion.” — Pope John Paul II

“Most often, walking alone with my shadow is how I find my answer, the result of gathering together all agreeable parties.” — Robert Breault

“The hardest walk is walking alone., but it’s also the walk that makes you the strongest.” — Unknown Author
