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.

Thanks for all of your support. When I get back from Iraq, I will wear it every Friday myself until they come home.
Hi Michelle,
This is a great idea!
I'll pass it on to everyone I know.
Now I need to find a red dress shirt for the office. I'll even wear it in Santa Monica for all our liberal friends...

I'll post up at my site... Maybe someone can design a little graphic we can post on our blogs to tell and remind our readers? (I suck at that stuff, so don't look to me LOL)

Michelle,
I've been supporting Red-Shirt Friday since June as has my family. I believe its one of the simplest ways you can show your support. However, the days of being a silent majority can not continue much longer. I believe we need to become more active and agressive in our countering of the anti-war/anti-American left. It is no longer enough to say, I stand with you in my beliefs, the time for quiet support is past now a vocal majority must present itself before our fellow Americans and say that the old policies of appeasement and stability are no longer our policies and those that follow them are no longer welcome here for Freedom in the guise of stability is not freedom it is enslavement and I shall never be enslaved.
Sorry for the rant....thanks for listening.
I love your idea and I will be posting this for all my bloggers to read ASAP.
Great idea!
God bless you and your brave husband. My grandson Johnny (21) is in the Army 82nd Airborne and he has done one tour in Iraq (he turned 20 in Fallujah)and is going back there soon. I'll post your piece on my blog and help spread the good word.
