Support Our Troops

[Tom Earp]

From a Friend of Mine:


Subject: Fw: I'll be wearing red

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why

The Americans who support our troops, are the silent majority. We
are not organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are.

Many Americans, like yourself, would like to start a grassroots movement
using the membership of the Special Operations Association, and Special
Forces Associations, and all their friends, simply, to recognize that
Americans support our troops. We need to inform the local VFW's and
American Legion, our local press, local TV, and continue carrying the message to the national levels as we start to get this going. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is -starting Friday, and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red -blooded American who supports our young men and women,
WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on
any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University.
If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances,
fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long
before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there
are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday
when you wear Red!

Let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
I sent this out to everyone on my email list; hopefully, you will too.

Please forward this to everyone you know!!
Wear Red on Fridays ....
SUPPORT ! OUR TROOPS, WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!

This doesn't dispute the claim. I usually look to snopes to dispell the silly email claims.

My husband has been in Iraq since last October. I wear red on some Fridays. I also wear red on other days because it is school colors and I work at the University. When I do it on Fridays, I feel like that is what it means. I also wear a yellow ribbon pin and that definitely makes the reason I am wearing red obvious.
