Wear Red on Fridays - Show Support for Our Troops

Does anyone else wear Red on Fridays to show support for our troops? I saw it suggested on the web some weeks back and have been participating since. The idea is to show that we appreciate the commitment and bravery of our troops, red representing those who are wounded or pay the ultimate sacrifice. If everyone who reads this wears red when they go to the pub tonight, and tells the locals why, it might catch on and show the real pride that exists in our flag and the sacrifices and hardships endured by our forces on a daily basis.

On a recent trip to the USA, I noticed members of the public approaching members of the armed forces, who all travel in uniform when on duty, to shake hands and thank them for the job they are doing. I have started to do the same. I am ex RAF and proud of it. Come on! Let's stand up and show our pride! Wear Red on Fridays!!
