Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue 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 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 blue.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue 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 BLUE 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 BLUE every Friday.

Since first reading about blue fridays a couple weeks ago I haven't and won't miss one. I have a brother in Iraq as we speak. I just wrote about it on my organic consumers association website (oca.org) blog 'from where I sit', too. BIG thanks to whoever started blue fridays, here's a hug a handshake and a pat on the back also.

Only problem with blue is that many people wear blue ANYWAY - jeans if nothing else. If you want a visible statement, you'd pick a more inconvenient color - fuchsia, say, or chartruese.

This isn't to belittle what you're trying to do -- I opposed the invasion from the start, but I agree that our troops need and deserve all the support they can get. I just hope that folks who participate in this campaign also take time to write Congress and insist that our soldiers, veterans, and their families and communities get the resources that they need to rebuild their lives and undo the damage caused by the war.

Pray:
Pray that they come home soon
Pray that they come home safe
Pray that they come home sane
Pray that people who sent them to war under false pretenses are held accountable
Pray that their families can get what they need
Pray that the long-suffering Iraqis can rebuild their country
Pray that the people who profit from war find a way to profit from peace instead

nissy

this is a great idea. i heard it through an occupational therapist where my daughter goes and i am now gonna start wearing my blue and passing it on. my family and i are great supporters of the men and women in iraq (especially the marines, no offense to anyone), but my nephew was a marine and was killed this past june 2007. no matter what our men and women know what they are up against just like my nephew and im honored to have known him and the many others we met since his passing. gotta love all who are unknown and keep them all in prayer, they are all heros forever and im grateful for their protection and courage.

It is a great privilege to be an American. I am grateful to the men and women who serve our country. I pray the war will end soon so our troops can come home to their families and enjoy the way of life that they were willing to risk all to protect.
