Welcome, "ONE AND ALL" to the Monday, November 17, 2025 edition of the “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!

“A life detour is an opportunity to right, left or straight, so take a different path — why not?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

A small detour doesn't mean you have to stop! It just means it may take a little longer to get there.

Today's Message is: "Detour Day!" - Why Not?

Good “Monday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — November 17, 2025

“Leadership is constantly dealing with unexpected roadblocks and unforeseen challenges. Confident leaders regain their footing and treat every detour like an opportunity to learn and use hidden strengths they didn’t know existed. An unexpected detour in leadership is bump in the road. Fill it in and keep on moving!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
