“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 overbearing.Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of American's supports our troops. Ouridea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until thetroops all come home, sending a deafening message that .. every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.” (Donna Conrad)
