"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.

All Too Familiar

The road was dirt and winding, amid the elms and oaks
where old friends and I would walk and tell those jokes
To the wooden bridge over the creek, to swim and play
and to rest upon the bank to have a tale to impart I say
Now the bridge is gone, and most of the friends as well
And time flowed on and the rest is easy to finally tell
Someday soon it all will be gone, even in memory
like the waters of the creek, all will pass on out to sea
Changes come and memories go, over and over you see
So worry not and relax my friend that’s just how its to be
