This was not meant as a political debate,so please dont turn it into one.I dont think anyone will disagree with me when I say that the troops who are over there were sent there by someone else.So,this thread was to inform and to try and get others to show our troops that we care about them.Thats all.SO WEAR RED ON FRIDAY!

Try reading it the way it was worded and meant 
I know you like to call stuff on me because I'm Canadian but.
I didn't say that the Canadian wives were the STARTERS of this observance.
I said that the wives of Canadian soldiers STARTED this observance IN CANADA.
as opposed to saying...... the Royal Canadian Legion or McDonalds starting it in Canada.
If I was to say the wives of Canadian soldiers CREATED this observance or this
Red Friday was FIRST started in Canada ..then you would be correct........But, I didn't say that.
Go Pick on France
BTW, congrats on the birth of your Daughter.

Best way to support the troops is to vote out the elected officials that support this non war meat grinder........I respect every man and woman in uniform but not the crooks and liers that want another veit nam

Wearing red is a great thing for us to do.
Might I add that you say,type,or shake the hands of every serviceman that you encounter. A simple thank you will mean more than we'll ever know. I've approached several men and women in uniform just to say thank you. If you really want to get into it, 4 months ago when my brother came home from ft benning we ate breakfast at the cracker barrel and had a woman pay our bill before we were finished. She shook his hand and said thank you as she left. Your actions say more than you ever can.

Canadians as a rule are polite (plus, I was raised that way on purpose) and text contains ....No Tone !
Perhaps it is you that takes thing the wrong way ?
I have met several FTE people all over Canada & a few states .....ask them
Btw, I edited my previous reply at the bottom

i've got my red Jameez on now and will be red dressed after my shower. God bless the troops, past and present.
