Wearing red : )
The reason for red......"We wear red because they bleed red for us!" There is an official shirt for the day. The wording on it reads , "If you can't get behind our troops feel free to get in FRONT OF THEM!"
"Red Shirt Friday is a symbol of unity of support for our solders who have given their lives and their freedoms so we might enjoy ours.
Red Shirt Friday is not just to give thanks to the thousands that have died for us. It is also for the millions that have served our country, are serving our country now, and to the millions that have supported our brave military.
It is for the loved ones that have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for our benefit. Mothers, wives, brothers, sisters, children, and relatives.
It is for the friends neighbors, communities, organizations, states and our nation that suffer from our loss.
It is for all of the ones that are serving now and have served.
It is for our P.O.W.s and M.I.A.s."

Found a little more info on Red Shirt Friday....it's actually Fridays
RED SHIRT FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red 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 over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. 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 red.
By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.
If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED 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.
