RED FRIDAYS

Anyone that knows me knows I'm a huge supporter of our troops. That doesn't mean I support the war, I simply believe we need to suport our troops in any way we can. Last November California Customs sent a box of t-shirts to our troops for them to have something from home. Our web site has a section devoted to our troops and we offer discounts to all military personnel as well as police and fire personnel.
Last year we also tried to put together a USO tour with several custom bike builders to go over and do a handshake tour in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately the military powers didn't think we were important enough to send so we missed out on being able to meet our troops in person.
In an effort to do whatever small thing we can to show our support we have been promoting Red Fridays. This was actually something I read about on Curt Schilling's blog, 38pitches.com. The deal is this, every Friday we all wear something red to show our support. This isn't flag waving or loud protesting, just a silent vigile to show how we at home support the young men and women that have put themselves in harm's way to protect our way of life. My hope is that soon we'll see a sea of red every Friday until our troops are home. This doesn't mean you have to agree with or support the war, Americans need to start realizing there is a difference between supporting the war and supporting our troops.
So if you care about our troops and showing your support for them wear something red next Friday, if not then feel free to live free in our country and not show your support. That's the nice thing about living in a free society, you can do as you wish.
