The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Monday” Morning! “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots.” Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 7 October 2024!
Today’s Message is: “Force Day!” Why Not?
“Effective leadership starts with fostering a positive environment. Leaders do this by bringing teams together with meaning and purpose, not by force. Forcing people to follow is demotivator and will lead to poor performance. If you want to inspire others with your vision, then provide positive support, guidance and be a positive force that motivates!” —COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

“The meaning runs deep for those men and women who’ve served this country: 'Honor & Respect Always—Warriors for Life’!” COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. When I tell someone about God and His love for them, it is never my intention to force them to accept and believe what I have shared. It is always a choice, but be careful of your choices because choices do have consequences. Have a blessed day today and always.

Good Monday morning Colonel.
