Good “Sunday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots!” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 8 December 2024!
Today’s Message is: “Exist Day!” Why Not?
“Many organizations exist to accomplish a mission or task that is bigger than one individual. It takes a tribe (team) and a chief (leader) that exist to lead with the ‘Why’ and a vision for the end state. Be the leader that exists to serve with inspiration and direction, period — not personal gain or ego!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
