Red Fridays Support Our Troops

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. We just simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. The idea is to show solidarity and support for our country and troops with dignity and respect, starting this Friday and continues until all the troops 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 lets make the United States every Friday a sea of RED. If everyone who loves our country will share this, 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 there side more then ever, certianly more then the media lets on. I think this is a great idea and hope to see people wearing Red on every Fridays until they all come back home. Will you wear red and do you agree with what they are tryin to do?

I don't mind wearing Red on fridays; my only thing is this; I just don't support the war; I was in the military and I just cannot say I am down with Iraq; My heart goes out to the troops; I even got enticed to come back in and I'm in my forties now, but deep down in my heart, I just can't say I am down with what's going on over there. Bit as far as wearing red, ok, no problem to me.
