Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has come to my attention that quite a few Americans support our
troops but as usual we are the silent majority. We are not organized to
really reflect who we are. I would like to start a grass roots movement
using the membership of the Special Operations Association and the
Special Forces Association to recognize Americans who support our
troops. My idea is not to stand on street corners once or twice, not to
carry stupid signs in a rally, not to carry our flag in parades. It's
much simpler than that. We need to inform the local VFW's and American
Legion (and all other veteran organizations), our local press, local TV, and even up to the national levels as
we start to get this going.
My idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is that
starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, that we and
every red blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR
SOMETHING RED. Word of mouth, press, TV, lets see if we can make the
United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home
football game at the University of Nebraska. If everyone of our
memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers,
drinking buddies, country club friends, I guarantee you that it will not
be long before the USA will be covered in Red much to the disdain of
the un-American ralliers.
Lets get the word out and lead by example, wear RED on Fridays. Thanks
for your time and consideration of my proposal. When I get home, I
intend to send this out to everyone on my e-mail list, hopefully, you
will too.
