Good Wednesday afternoon Colonel
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. This topic had me scratching my head, trying to decide on which way to go for my response. I finally decided on a topic that I felt would be of interest to many. Of course it had to be something spiritual in content. I have submitted, below, a link that is very interesting to me. I hope that you enjoy. Have a blessed day today and always.

Good morning Jack. Your image reminds me of the Mai Lei massacre. They all knew how to shoot but didn’t and shouldn’t have participated. Someone should have stopped the event. A truly ugly stain on the US Armed forces. Blessings.
Participation is the key to success in any endeavor however the flip side of of that is forced participation puts one on a fast track to failure. Oddly, in my experience, forced participation is much more prevalent in the civilian sector.
