Red Shirt Fridays Gaining Momentum

    HAVEN, KS, October 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There is little doubt that today's soldiers have more support than ever from our country's citizens. It is rare that a soldier will walk into any bar or restaurant and not have some patron pick up the tab or at the very least, buy a drink to show some appreciation. Recently, the trend of wearing a red shirts on Red Shirt Fridays has gained momentum, as more and more citizens are wearing red t-shirts to show their support for our troops.

Red Shirt Fridays went viral on social media sites earlier this year. The practice of wearing red shirts had been going on, but a random Facebook post made the world aware. The story of how this tradition was started is claimed by several individuals and groups, so its actual beginnings are uncertain.

Today, people are not only wearing red shirts, but they are wearing patriotic military tshirts or memorial shirts to fallen soldiers. Companies like American Hero T Shirt are actually selling shirts for Red Shirt Fridays to raise money for funds such as the Lone Survivor Foundation. If this momentum continues to grow, it will not be long before every American is adorned in red for Red Shirt Fridays.

It may only be a small gesture, but it is surely one our troops appreciate. Thankfully, the support our soldiers receive today is very different from the ridicule many soldiers faced during the Vietnam War. This small tribute of wearing a red shirt for Red Shirt Fridays shows them that our country stands behind them in everything they do. Regardless of politics or beliefs, people who are living in this country should be wearing a red shirts for Red Shirt Fridays to show their support of the individuals fighting for the freedom we all enjoy.
