> 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 more than the media lets on.
