“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. I’d rather stand with a select group of sharpened warriors than to go into battle with an Army of dull soldiers. I wish to sharpen my faith so as to overcome the temptations of this evil world that we have. Have a blessed day today and always.

What Is the Meaning of 'Iron Sharpens Iron' in Proverbs 27:17?
There is an interesting and perhaps convicting illustration of both friendship and accountability found in Proverbs 27:17. We can see the connections to life and in that, this verse and the principles it contains become quite useful and life-related.
