The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Let’s “Remember Everyone Deployed” today and every day until they come home safely once again!
Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of another week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 15 July 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Speak Day!” Why Not?
“How Important is it for a leader to speak clearly and act decisively? The leader is someone who inspires people! Their most powerful tool to gain trust and take appropriate action is how they communicate their message and speak to people with respect! Leaders are always on the stage under the spotlight when it comes to speaking. A true leader usually speaks last, so they can listen to the input and ideas from others. Leader’s actions will always speak louder than words. Are you able to motivate people to action when you speak? — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Too many people speak just to hear themselves talk. Don't bother if it isn't as the first quote says, true. necessary and kind!
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. It was really nice chatting on Coffee Break with y’all this A.M.
When I was Deputy Sheriff in Washington State, I was definite known to speak my mind. I could go on a tangent talking about it, but suffice it to say, my words started a separation from the Teamsters and also my words defended the unfairly treated guys that were still on probation. My thoughts have always been, right is right, stand up for it. Words mean things, both good and bad. I would like to see folks take the time and look at how their words affect others. Have blessed day today and…
Love the Jimi Hendricks quote. As my kids and many in my squadrons have said, you often dont need to hear me speak to know what I am thinking.
I love them both, Robert. Have a blessed day, my friend.
Good R.E.D. Friday Colonel
