“The meaning runs deep for those men and women who’ve served this country: 'Honor & Respect Always — Warriors for Life’!” COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. What a dull world we would live in, if we do nothing to sharpen each other. If we are not prepared for the evil onslaughts of life, from the devil, we will be destroyed and our relationship with God would fade away. Therefore prepare yourselves by sharpening your relationships with each other, to be strong and able to overcome. Have a blessed day today and always.
