Joe Hare urges: Wear Blue on Friday to show support for troops

Blue on Fridays will show support for troops. Local restaurant is movement. Guest commentator says only two defining forces ever offered to die for you: 1) Jesus Christ and 2) The American G.I. Wants to see America a sea of blue every Friday

By Joe Hare

Whether you support our nation in its current conflicts (wars), or not we all should support our troops.

I discovered this morning, Thursday the 6th, at OK Country Cooking that they will be supporting our troops by joining the "Blue Movement" described below.



They were in the process of ordering blue shirts for all employees to be worn every Friday.
I urge everyone to join in as a show of support to all our troops that are now deployed.
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 is 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.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
  1. Jesus Christ
  2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
