Support Our Troops! Wear Red EVERY Friday!!

[ChristianKitsune]

Whether you agree with the war or not (let's not make this a debate..I am just basically sharing some news) Our troops need to be supported! They are fighting for our Country (again, whether you agree with it or not)

ANyway! My point I am trying to make is this. EVERY FRIDAY! WEAR RED! It will be awesome!

Hmm, an interesting idea, which I may consider, however I fear this thread will be soon locked. Despite the fact that it is not intended to create an argument, it is dealing with a sensitive subject...

Is it? Why? I am not trying to cause a problem...

Anyway, Sorry in advance Mods..If this is to be locked. then at least let me explain what this is about...

Here is an email I recieved from my grandfather, a former US. Army Vet.

RED FRIDAYS ----- 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 mo re 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 some thing red every Friday.

sounds like a forward mail chain spam thing...

But a good idea. I'd do it if I had any red.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I think it best if we don't go there on this board. Fell free to pass this on to people you know would want to hear it, but I think for consistancy's sake we'd better close this one down.

Thanks for understanding!
