Default Support for our troups

I saw this on the news and thought we might be able to reach many supporters of our troups. I know that many of us would like to show our support for the guys and gals in Harm's way.





Wear Red on Fridays.....

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. We 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.

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!!
