PriPri has suggested that this event be made a weekly event and we agree!!
Everyone should wear red on Fridays in honor of deployed service men around the world. They deserve our support and it is the least we can do for those who sacrifice for our safety every day.
So please join us next Friday, and EVERY Friday, by proudly wearing your RED.
And feel free to post your pics here.
Hey Everyone! Don't forget to wear your RED tomorrow for RED FRIDAY!!
(Not to be confused with Scarlett Sunday from last December!!)

Red is for the deployed Military though, so preferd wear.
Its a fun cause and makes the night interesting.
On Fridays, civilians back home wear an article of red clothing — a shirt, a tie, anything — as a reminder to all to Remember Everyone Deployed. These Fridays became known as R.E.D. Friday. … You will feel better all day Friday when you wear RED!
RED is an acronym that stands for Remember Everyone Deployed. R.E.D. Friday was created to remind people of our heroes overseas and show that we are thinking of them.
We will see next Friday ! Location : AMSTERDAM !
Cool. All rooms Wearing it is cool. Com join in
How did R.E.D. Friday Get Started?
Remember those email chains you used to get asking you to forward to 10 friends – or all of your friends? There were all kinds: some claiming ridiculous things, some trying to raise awareness for campaigns or diseases, and some that were just plain silly. This is how R.E.D. Friday originated: an email chain back in 2005.Sometime in 2006, the RED Campaign was adopted in Canada by Lisa Miller and Karen Boier; the wives of two Canadian servicemen. Their purpose was to spread nationwide support of Canadians overseas. The color red worked perfectly because Canadian’s official color is red. Their RED Shirt Friday campaigns were organized as rallies that spread across Canada.
Eventually, a guy by the name of Lloyd (Doc) Hofmeister became involved in the Canadian RED Shirt Fridays and decided to take it [back] to America. Lloyd started a website called redshirtfridays.org because, “I [Lloyd] know what it is like to be half a world away from your life, to feel that no one cares, and to come home to be humiliated and ashamed of your service.”
Lloyd says on his website:
“I have come full circle now. I am no longer ashamed and I realize I never should have been! My hope is that none of our armed forces will ever have to go through this again. I have seen firsthand how troop morale is as important as basic training. If morale is low, mistakes are made and people die.Our job is to support our troops and in the process we can help to increase their morale by showing we care. Let’s face it, your show of appreciation could very well save someone’s son or daughter’s life.”
And so RED Shirt Friday spread across the U.S. thanks to military families, spouses, organizations like Soldiers’ Angels and Americans who want to make sure that our heroes overseas know they are supported. Join us!
Being a part of R.E.D. Friday is easy: just wear red on Friday and tell your friends why!
Thank You PriPri for getting this movement started on AChat!!
