Good morning Col Burroughs. This is one of those when you need to pick your time(s) properly. There are a number of issues on which I simply will not "cave" and I feel very strongly about them while there are others which simply don't rise to that level for me. When I believe in a cause I stand tall; my emotional/rational/spiritual backbone is engaged and I am very hard to shake.

Great perspective and I'm the same way when it comes to a principle that I will not give in on or a concept, task, or objective. I zero in and apply all the backbone necessary to move the boulder Charlie! Thanks for the great quotes today and have a super day Lt Col Charlie Brown!
"Show everyone the backbone you have to make a difference in your life and in their lives and never settle for status-quo! May you always present a great positive attitude along with the backbone to make it count for something awesome and inspirational; may you take the very best care of yourself; and keep your family safe, secure, and healthy during these uncertain times. Lead from the front and display the backbone necessary to make exciting and new things happen!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Great advice GySgt Thomas Vick Having a sense of humor abd being able to laugh is just as important as having the backbone to make your own path brother.
