“Great leaders never stand still and wait for the ideal time to lead. They don't ask for permission, wait for a perfect outcome, or wait to make a change in direction. They take the initiative. Never stand still in your leadership journey; you cause confusion, miss opportunities and waste people’s time!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)

That Thermal Imaging Equipment Is Also Being Used By Archeologists And They've Found Throughout The Jungles All Manner Of Wild Life Not Previously Discovered.. And Something Simular (I Don't Recall The Name) Can Visually Clear All Vegetation. In Doing So They've Discovered The Aztec Nation Had Expanded Throughout Central America And Into South America As Well, And Discovered Around 60,000 Aztec Building Using That Same Technique. History Is Needing Constant Updating
