Wish I could take credit for this idea, but it's not mine. We plan
to do this EVERY Friday until all our troops return home. It has
come to my attention that quite a few Americans support our troops,
but as usual, we're the silent majority. We are not "organized" to
really reflect who we are, nor our opinions.
We would like to start a grass roots movement using the membership
of the Special Operations Association and the Special Forces
Association to recognize Americans who support our troops.
My idea is not to stand on street corners once or twice, not to
carry stupid signs in a rally, not to carry our flag in parades. Its
much simpler than that. We need to inform the local VFW's and
American Legion, our local press, local TV, and even continue
carrying the message up to the national levels as we start to get
this going. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our
troops is that starting Friday and continuing on each and every
Friday, that we and 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 OHIO STATE, the University of Oklahoma or University of
Nebraska. If every one of our memberships share this with other
acquaintances, fellow workers, country club friends, neighbors, I
guarantee you that it will not be long before the USA will be covered
in RED - much to the disdain of the un-American ralliers.
Let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
Thanks for your time and consideration of my proposal. I intend to
send this out to everyone on my e-mail list; hopefully you will too.
Please forward this to everyone you know!!
