Read Original Blue Friday Email

This powerful email started it all. 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.

Supporting our troops is supporting the very essence of the United States. Each service member is someone's father, mother, son, daughter, sister or brother. 'Freedom Isn't Free'. The legacy that we ALL inherited in the colors of OUR flag and all of our service men and women uphold, protect and support that legacy of Freedo, In our flag Red for the Blood so many have given, White for the purity of purpose and Blue for Valor of those who serve with pride, put their lives on the line. They/we do this for all, for OUR flag, OUR country. We certainly can make the statement of support for all they/we do. I'm retired USN, my husband is finishing up '30' , also USN, and my wonderful stepson is U.S. Army, boots on the ground in Afghanistan.
I'll wear blue, every Friday.

Linda,

I am a 33 year veteran of the Army and about to retire. I served in Afghanistan, where I lost a couple of buddies. As a career Soldier, I say, "Yes!, you can support Soldiers while opposing the war. The US military is an arm of US diplomacy, we're just the bloody end of it. When other means fail, the government uses the military to force our enemies to either return to dialogue, or face defeat in battle. The politicians control the military and we follow their orders. Understanding that the last person on earth to choose war is a Soldier, and that we only follow orders from our civilian leaders, why would you not support the sacrifice of those serving and especially their families? You can disagree with the administration, but you must support Soldiers. (Reply to Linda B - Chattanooga)
