RED Fridays -- Remember Everyone Deployed

Several months ago, I walked into the Black Rifle Coffee Company store that I stop at every day and noticed that everyone was wearing the same salmon-colored shirt. I kind of jokingly asked the guy who serves me coffee on most days, a retired Army E-8, whether that was the uniform of the day. He explained to me that everyone wore red on Fridays because it was RED Friday -- Remember Everyone Deployed.

I know a couple of guys -- an Army E-3 in Germany and an Army National Guard E-6 who's away from his new wife a lot -- and I thought it was a good idea anyway, so I found a shirt online that I liked and now wear every Friday.

I thought I'd post here and see if I could get a little more support for our deployed service members. Wear a red shirt on Fridays to Remember Everyone Deployed.

I started in Helicopters, Armor, then took over a Finance Unit. I told them my vision was to give "World Class" support to the soldiers and community of Ft Riley. Treat every soldier like a hero, because some would not come back after deployments. The soldiers understood that, and they met my vision in a few months.

I am really glad that the Afghanistan and Iraq wars have been turned off.

We all have red polo shirts for Fridays, have been wearing them for years. I work for a DOD contractor where the majority of our employees are veterans.
