Good Monday evening Colonel.
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have been blessed to have been able to serve my God, my Country and my Community. For me, it has been a fulfilling life, but it does not have to stop at retirement. There is need for service in so many arenas, that we are always needed for service. Have a blessed day today and always.

Serving Sacrificially
Serving, from a biblical expression, is a voluntary act that demonstrates a sense of obligation to others, provided as an expression of worship to God. To serve sacrificially means to PITCH IN:
Provide – Give to others from your resources of time, treasures, skills, gifts,…
We who have been in the military have a view of serving that seems to be extremely lacking in much of society these days.
