The best indicator of a great leader is an organization talking about them long after they have moved on.

That’s one of the best indicators Jack! It’s not much but I had a mess hall dedicated after I left the 89th Sustainment Brigade! Have a great day my friend.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I love the topic today. I try to live each day, planting seeds for the Holy Spirit to nurture. Jesus told His followers to go into the world and share the message of His Gospel and to teach the people. It is our duty to share that precious salvation message through Christ. We can only plant the seeds of this message and then watch the Holy Spirit of God do His wondrous work. I pray that I may diligently do this spreading of the seed, to the Glory of God the Father. Have a blessed day today and always.
