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. We are voicing our love for God, the Lord Jesus Christ. We support our Troupes and strongly believe in freedom for our nation. We are standing up for our homeland 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 Americans support 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 a far, 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, coworkers, 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.
The first thing a soldier says when asked “What can we do to make things better for you?” is “We need your support and your prayers.” Let’s get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

Excerpt from Macon News. 04 March 2010 (Deni Shepherd)
“Dorothy Sayers, the great English writer said this to describe what tolerance has become within our society and our world view. “In the world it calls itself ‘Tolerance,’ but in hell it is called despair. It is the accomplice of the other sins and their worst punishment. It is the sin which believes nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and only remains alive because there is nothing it would die for.” I totally agree with Ms. Sayers statement. There seems to be a lot of nothingness, no purpose, no reference to right or wrong, even we are nothing whether to ourselves or to anyone else. This truly may be our new definition of today’s tolerance. (Shepherd, 2010)”
