The Colonel's Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day!


Today’s Message is: “Lacking Day!” Why Not?

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


Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Eagle’s Nest” on the road, on the Harley for the “RIPRIDE4Vets 2021” in Columbus, OH! — 15 June 2021!


Day 13 of the "RIPRIDE4Vets 2021" is over – great day of riding, first day without any actual rain – None! Traveled down from York, PA to Clarksburg, WV for a very short lunch with “Grumpy” who got kicked off RallyPoint (Craig Phillips)! I forgot to get a picture as well! We had a great lunch, but there is never enough time and I had to make it to Columbus, OH to get my oil change since I’m way over 6,000 miles on the Harley – that mission was accomplished!


Day 14 of 21 will be a ride to Franklin, TN to meet and greet with LTC Stephen Curlee and spend the evening having dinner. Today is my anniversary as well and Bella will be flying out to Grand Rapids, MI his evening and joining me for a couple of days on the “RIPRIDE4Vets 2021" Phase IV.

Sorry very limited time, so responses over the next remaining days…


Today’s Message is: “Lacking Day!” Why Not?


“When a leader lacks vision they also lack a lot of important qualities like prioritization, inspiration, and focus – they leave no one with any sense of direction, which results in exhaustion and lack of productivity. Don’t be the lack luster leader!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
