Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. Troops can smell a sham a mile away.

Remember, old soldiers never die, they just idly prognosticate away on Rally Point. Cheers!

Good morning Col Burroughs. A lot of people seem to have problems being who they really are. They want to fit in and so they hide their authentic selves. This is emotionally and intellectually exhausting. Be brave and show the world your authentic self. Some will appreciate that and others will not, but that's okay.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - You had some excellent thoughts and quotes for yesterday, sorry I was so far behind in responding Charlie. Have a great Wednesday...

“Authenticity will attract those who follow – leaders become a magnet with confidence and fearless resolve when are the ‘real deal!”. Always be that real person that people can look up to and want to follow. May you always be authentic and have a positive attitude in everything you attempt to do for your own goals and dreams; and be positive for those around you; may you always keep yourself strong and in the best condition to tackle all your objectives; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy during these uncertain times in our history. Don’t try to be somebody you’re not. Be the real you and authentic throughout your life. Have a great Tuesday.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good “Tuesday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader” from the chilly & blustery Area of Greater Boston!!! 48° with 57% humidity and winds N 9 mph... gusting to 15 mph... It is supposed to warm up, but not today! LOL! My two daughters took me out for a belated Birthday Dinner last night, so slept in a bit too long and now am working a shift on my IT job... Just finished one report and on to report number two... “Authenticity Day!” Why Not? (This is try #3)

Today I found one quote that pretty much tells it all to a a truth seeking authentic audience... Read on my Brothers and Sisters:

"Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don't know. The great leaders can't do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human." - Simon Sinek

And know this above all else...

“The leader who is authentic is fearless and becomes a magnet for those around them to follow!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I believe your "thank you's" were authentic to one another.
