In my first command position I learned the value of just stoping by the shop to talk with people, and perhaps even have a cup of shop coffee with them. I had no idea that a bit of my time was such a gift to those I led. It's a lesson that I carry to this day.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. In one day, we were given the greatest gift man could ever receive, that being the gift of eternal life through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
