The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots!” Welcome to the weekend from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 8 February 2025
Today’s Message is: “Trying Day!” Why Not?”

If you're trying something new to move the needle and get it right, then go for it. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose, unless you quit trying!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
