The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Sunday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots!” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 30 March 2025
Today’s Message is: “Second Chance Day!” Why Not?
“Should leaders give people a second chance?

Second chances in life are very rare. If you give a person a second chance, you both grow!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
