Will you wear blue for our troops?

A friend of mine forwarded me an e-mail stating that people are going to start wearing blue every Friday untill our troops come home. What a great way to support our troops in harm's way. I will wear something blue beginning next week(will be on a cruise ship) Here is that e-mail:

Blue Fridays. 

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 starts this Friday -- and continues each and every 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 ou t and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.

Mike, like David above, I thought I was supposed to wear red on Fridays for our troops.  Really, I think we just need to support them and let them know how much we appreciate all they do and sacrifice so we can be free.

Hi Mike,

Blue Fridays! I'm up for supporting our troops!  They do so much for us, it's the least we could do for them!
