Even though red is the color of Commies, I have kind of gotten used to the red state phenomenon. Face it, red is hearty, strong, bold and optimistic while blue is pale, whiny and the color representing sadness. Just like today's Dems!
IMHO we should give it a special name, like call Fridays "Troops' Day" (or something to designate that it is a day to show support of the military). I know if this was happening all over America it would be a wonderful encouragement for our service men and women. Besides, all you men who have patriotic ties could wear them more than once or twice a year!
I volunteer on a military base; they appreciate even the smallest gesture that shows we care. If you really get something going (and, especially, if we have some pictures) I believe I can get a story published in the base newspaper - that will spread the word like wildfire through the military. But, then, we would have to actually keep it alive. Are we prepared to do that?
Remember, in many offices Friday is often "dress down day," when employees are permitted to be in very casual dress, often jeans. So wearing any Red, White, and Blue would be easy to achieve for most. Just my personal thoughts. Let me know if this "flies" and I will help in any way I can. I love our military.
Agree totally - red it is and I'm tired of the left co-opting everything, even colors. Let them get another color.
