Friday & Happy Veteran’s Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of another week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 11 November 2022!Today’s Message is: “Courage Day!” Why Not?“When we think of leaders we think of veterans that have learned to fight through moments in their military service that could have held them back, but they had the courage to move forward. Veterans have that leadership mindset throughout all the ranks that spells out a determination for purpose and mission, a keen awareness of their surroundings, willingness to face the unknown, and the readiness to experience discomfort and risk! When they raise the American flag Veterans stand tall as best they can with their shoulders back, and their heads held high! Veterans embody courage!” — COL (Ret) Mikel BurroughsJoin your host Volunteer, Veteran & Mental Health Peer Specialist SSG (Ret) Derrick Iozzio Saturday evening with special guest Brett Cotter for Warriors for Life (WFL) Online Peer Group Support sponsored and presented by Victory for Veterans, Inc.
