"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Christ, He requires still, wheresoe’er He comes,

To feed, or lodge, to have the best of rooms:

Give Him the choice; grant Him the nobler part

Of all the house: the best of all’s the heart.”

I am Yours, Lord, yet teach me all it means,

Holy service, full and glad surrender,

I want to thank you so much for get well wishes, as I posted I was bummed out yesterday. What actually happened was this; within in about the last 2 weeks 3-2year old boys died. 2 happened near here(of which one boy has not been found) and the 3rd boy died in SanDiego ,after a plane crash that left his Mother dead and them him the next day. The two sister’s and Father are still in critical condition, last I heard. What a beautiful, young family. Sometimes things like this just get to me and I often wonder why I’m still here and they are gone at such a young age. I couldn’t write this yesterday as I was too upset. And then that horrible school bus accident, with the death of a young girl. It was just too much, but am feeling better today, as I know life must and does go on. Thank you for listening to me.

I won't be here much
today, but wanted you to
know I'm thinking about ya!

[jaycee]

Thank you for your words today, geologist! And may God Bless you!
