RED Fridays

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

Red Friday
Just keeping you "in the loop" so you'll know what's going on in case this
takes off.
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 a nd 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 some thing
red every Friday.
IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON - IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
WELIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
I will be wearing Red on Fridays, How about you. :)
WE WILL NEVER FORGET

I think I can find a red shirt to wear on friday

[BOBALOO]

Last year I went to Disneyland and noticed ALOT of people wearing red shirts.
Then I realized that the shirts had clever sayings like "Gay day" and "Sausage lover". Figures my wife would drag me to the crappiest place on earth on Gay day.
My point..........Be careful going to Disneyland on Fridays.
BTW I have 2 brothers in the service, 1 in Afganistan and 1 in Lemore

[fourspeednup]

Well I just so happen to have a red "JLK PLumbing" shirt. Can't remember exactly how I got it :p :D :D

[MagicMtnDan]

I thought "Red Fridays" was a reference to Fridays when guys don't get any cuz the wife/GF is having her monthly :rolleyes:
Wearing red in some areas could mean a gang banger wearing blue might not like you :crossx:

Why would they choose the color red? Isn't that the color of.... Oh, Russia & China? It has long been associated with Communist Countries. I would think the color of choice for the USA would be Blue..... :cool:
Just curious..

HERES A UPDATED STORY FOR THE ORIG THREAD....
If the Red shirt thing is new to you, read below...
Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together.
After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.
No, he responded.
Heading out I asked?
No. I'm escorting a soldier home.
Going to pick him up?
No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq , I'm taking him home to his family.
The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days.
I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do.
Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign."
Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American.
So here's a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do.
