Will you wear blue?

Question

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 out
and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear
something blue every Friday.

A friend forwarded me this piece. I liked it very much, but don't know where it originated from.

Shiloh, just because you have an unpatriotic spirit and even if this was tried before and failed, it's an effort worth participating in on behalf of our troops.

Answer 1

I'll do it!

Shilo - Aren't you bitter and hateful

Answer 2

A small suggestion. Take what you paid or might be paying for that blue garment and send it to one of the following as a donation:
Army Emergency Relief.
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.
Air Force Aid Society.
Links to their web site are in the source box below. I personally think, as a retired Navy Officer with 25 years of service, that it would be a more tangible way of saying you support the troops rather than a unicolor national parade.
