Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the end of the week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — January 30, 2026
Today’s Message is: “Small Things Day!” Why Not?
“The small things that leaders do, can have a major impact when it comes to people’s performance. They build trust and show people that they’re valued. Remember, small things can make a big difference and go a long way. A simple ‘thank you’ or word of praise can inspire an entire team!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
