Today’s Message is: “Serving Day!” Why Not?


“Real leadership is about serving others and not serving yourself. Authentic leaders are focused on the common good of everyone they lead and not their own personal interests. People can see this in a leader when there is a genuine desire to serve others. They have the right attitude and a style that is powerful and synergistic. Are you the leader that is serving others or is that beyond you?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Pretty sure all of us who served in the military understand the concept of serving, not so sure about the rest of the population.

You are dead on with that comment Jack... We need for our youth to start serving at an early age, so they understand what real service is all about. We'd have a different Country and world my friend. Have a super day Jack!

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. All my working life has been in service to my Country, Community but mostly to my Creator God. Serving has a way of building character and folks tend to trust you more. It is my desire to continue serving others as I serve God. I must point out that I have never known someone as Col Burroughs that is so dedicated to serving veterans and active duty personnel. Col Burroughs, I give you a crisp hand salute.

Have a blessed day today and always.
