[Lions-l] RED FRIDAY: HONOR OUR TROOPS

[Jackie & Pat Harty]

Hi Baker Lions:
Don't know if there is anyone on the Baker message board as it seems totally inactive.  But just in case someone is still out there, and you actually get this, it might interest you.

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, 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 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.

IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON. 
IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON. 

IT IS YOUR CHOICE. 

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!
