The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Monday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — April 20, 2026
Today’s Message is: “Apology Day!” Why Not?
“When a confident leader offers a sincere apology, they aren’t giving up authority. They are demonstrating real courage with those they lead. Owning your mistakes doesn’t make you weak; it’s the foundation of trust that your leadership is built on!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:
“An apology means nothing if they don’t stop doing what they are apologizing for. Believe action, not words.” — Mandy Hale
“A sincere apology has three parts: I am sorry. It’s my fault. What can I do to make it right?” — Unknown Author
“A meaningful apology is one that communicates three R’s: regret, responsibility, and remedy.” — Beverly Engel
“An apology is the super glue of life. It can repair just about anything.” — Lynn Johnston
“When you make a mistake, give an apology without an excuse attached to it. The longer an apology, the less authentic it is.” — Dr. Steve Maraboli
“An apology is the first step toward healing, but guilt reminds us to never repeat the mistake.” — Unknown Author
“Apology doesn’t mean that you are ‘wrong’ or the other person was ‘right’. It means that your ‘relationship’ is more valuable than your ‘ego’.” — Unknown Author
