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 — February 13, 2026
Today’s Message is: “Don’t Ask Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders don’t ask permission to take action when things get tough and they never ask people to do things they wouldn’t do themselves. If you’re a true leader, don’t ask people to do something you wouldn’t do when faced with a challenge. Set the example and take action!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)

“We need people who don’t ask us to become different for their own acceptance and terms of approval. We need people, and we need the people who give others the permission to sit in their own skins and not be afraid. That’s the best gift you are ever going to give someone- the permission to feel safe in their own skin. To feel worthy. To feel like they are enough.” — Hannah Brencher
“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.” — Unknown Author
“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.” — Nora Roberts
“Everyone Matters, Talk to Us!" — Army Veteran Mikel Burroughs
