RED FRIDAY

Red Friday --------Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops use to be called the "silent" majority. Well 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 be recognized that the vast majority of Americans support our troops.

Wearing something Red on Friday, is our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops. This will continue each and every Friday until all the troops come home. We hope to send a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something Red. Like a homecoming football game in the bleachers every Friday. Let's make the United States a sea of RED!!!!

If everyone who loves this country will share this with their acquaintances. co-workers, friends and family, it will not be long before the United States is covered in RED, and it will let our troops know that 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?" He says, "We need your support and prayers.

Let's get the word out, and wear RED every FRIDAY!!!!


The inspiration for this is of course, our troops and to feel we can let them know how much we love, appreciate and thank them for what they do and the sacrifices they make having to be separated from their families for long periods of time. I know this first hand. I have a son who has returned just today, August 26, 2008, from a 1 year tour in Iraq, which is his 2nd time to be over there. Needless to say, we thank you for all the support and the wearing of Red every Friday, and your prayers for each one's safe return.

Last Friday, we were 100% in Red, at the Exercise room!! Most every Friday you will see all Red ---sometimes someone will forget, and they come in apologizing to me and teasing me that I won't let them in if they don't wear Red, ha! I take their pictures of them in their Red attire. I will post pictures as soon as I learn how to do it, ha!

Today has been an especially happy day for me, for my son to be home!!!
Hopefully he will have a year at home before any more foreign assignments. Continue to pray for our troops and don't forget to wear RED every Friday!!
