RED FRIDAYS -----

I had no idea this was going on until I went last April to watch my son graduate from boot camp. We arrived on a Thursday and had a family day, then Friday was his actual graduation. When my husband & I arrived on Friday most of the parents were wearing red. It was quite a site to see. I was discussing this with Dawn(my sons Aunt that attended also) and a lot of the shirts said "Military Families Wear Red on Fridays." Believe me as soon as the ceremony was over I went and purchased two of those red shirts. I now wear red every Friday.

This is the info I found on the net...
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?"is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.
