Blue Fridays Support US Troops

What are Blue Fridays? - You are not alone in your interest about "Blue Fridays". Blue Fridays are an ever-growing American tradition to wear something blue on Fridays to show support for our troops. Join the cause and wear something blue this coming Friday! "Red Fridays" are an unrelated Canadian tradition.

Learn More About Blue Fridays 

I receive quite a few questions and comments concerning this page. Most of which are asking whether "blue" Fridays support the democratic party and whether it should be blue Friday or red Friday. The truth is... it's no more democrat-oriented than the Toronto Blue Jays would be and it's not really about a color anyway. Wearing a certain color shirt or ribbon does keep the soldiers on the minds of people here at home, but if you really want to support the troops, then find a charity that sends them care packages or buys them laptops to stay in touch with their family. You can find a great list below if you don't know of one already. That's the real meaning and mission of BlueFridays.Org - God blesses America everyday.

Have you read it yet?

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.

    Blue is the color of Peace, and our troops are the supreme peace keepers. I'll proudly wear blue on Friday, and any other day to show support for all the troops.
