Wearing Red on Fridays

[luvs2shopalot]

I borrowed this post from another board. I thought it was definitely worth sharing if your are supporting our soldiers. Here goes...




This was forwarded to me by the Dad of a serviceman in Iraq. He did not originate the idea but is excited to tell his son what he and others are doing at home.....

====================================================================================

I plan to do this EVERY Friday until all our troops return home.

It has come to my attention that quite a few Americans support our troops, but as usual, we are the silent majority. We are not 'organized' to really reflect who we are, nor our opinions. I would like to start a grass roots movement using the membership of the Special Operations Association and the Special Forces Association to recognize Americans who support our troops.

My idea is not to stand on street corners once or twice, not to carry stupid signs in a rally, not to carry our flag in parades. It's much simpler than that. We need to inform the local VFW's and American Legion, our local press, local TV, and even continue carrying the message up to the national levels as we start to get this going. My idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is that starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, that we and every red blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV, lets see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at the University of Nebraska. If every one of our memberships shares this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, drinking buddies, country club friends, I guarantee you that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - much to the disdain of the un-American ralliers. Let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays. Thanks for your time and consideration of my proposal. When I get home, I intend to send this out to everyone on my e-mail list; hopefully, you will too.

Please forward this to everyone you know.

I agree with the red, white, and blue on Fridays, but either way will wear those colors! Thanks for the suggestions..

There has been a lot of talk regarding this and how it is an email hoax. There's a new initiative to organize and really support the men and women who serve our county by wearing [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now].

Hi,
From that post I just read (the link), it looks like it started out as maybe a "hoax", but now it's a very real thing and I'll go looking through the closet for somethings that are red for Fridays

Myself and several of the people at work always wear red on Fridays. I bought a red tank top so I could wear it while it was so hot.
