“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. To dream about and talk about being with the Lord forever requires a serious preparation. Imagine not being prepared to meet the Lord when He returns to take His Bride, the Church, and as a consequence you miss being ready and not being taken with the Lord, to Heaven. Oh, what a disaster and disappointment that would be. Have a blessed day today and always.
