“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. Too many people have let their emotions overtake them during this election time. Relax and turn all of your emotions over to God. Have a blessed day today and always.

Emotions are what set us apart from other life forms. They are a necessary part of being human, but we should never let them control our decisions.
Good Tuesday morning Colonel. I am finally out of the hospital and remain among the living.
