The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!

Good “Monday & Memorial Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to a new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” on the road in Denver, CO — 30 May 2022!

Today’s Message is: “Remember & Honor Day!” Why Not?

“We can learn a lot about leadership from those men and women we honor today who came before us on this Memorial Day. Not all of those buried on hollow ground in our veteran ceremonies died in war, but they still served our country and made a sacrifice to secure our freedom. It reflects the courage and leadership they possessed to serve our great nation during wars and during peacetime to secure our freedom. All who reside in our veteran cemeteries today gave of themselves to others in service of our country; and some paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives. We can remember and honor them as leaders who placed the nation before self-interest!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
