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.
