The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day and Week!
Let’s “Remember Everyone Deployed” around the world today and every day until they come home!
Good “R.E.D. Friday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the end of the week & month from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — October 31, 2025
Today’s Message is: “Option Day!” Why Not?
“Confident and courageous leaders face adversity and obstacles head-on. Quitting or giving up is not in their vocabulary, it’s just not an option. They deal with adversity; they dig-in, step up, and they’re never silent. They turn their words into action. You need to rise to every occasion where being silent is no longer an option!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)

Value whoever values you and don’t treat as a priority whoever treats you as an option!” — Unknown Author
