I told you it was spreading. This was in my inbox from the Conservative Party of Canada. I’ll be there with a red and white umbrella (in case the rain forecasted shows up) and my camcorder.
The wives of two men serving in the Canadian Forces have started a grassroots effort to send a message to our soldiers.
The concept of wearing something red – whether a red shirt, jacket, cap, bandana or whatever – every Friday is meant to let the soldiers and their spouses and children know they are not alone.
We appreciate the sacrifices they are making on our behalf. We thank them for their service to our country and their fight for peace and justice wherever in the world they are sent.
With that in mind, a massive public rally is being planned for “Red Friday”. This is a non-partisan, non-political rally in support of Canadian troops and their families:
* Friday Sept 22, 2006
* Parliament Hill, Ottawa
* 12:00 Noon – 1:00 PMPolice officers, firefighters, city staff, politicians of all stripes, OC Transpo staff, paramedics, United Way workers, private businesspeople and the general public will join a colourful parade of veterans as they show respect and thanks in a very public way.
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. HELP SPREAD THE WORD, AND WEAR RED THIS FRIDAY!

Here at partyblog.ca we love our troops and want to do something to make their
life a little bit easier so we are adding a new photo contest that will run
until November 1st.
Show your how much you support our troops by sending in your photos of you
wearing red and enjoying the freedoms that they are fighting for.
Your pics can be of you or your friends out partying wearing red, or maybe you
can submit a pic of you wearing something red that reminds them what they are
fighting for, if you know what I mean…
For every photo submitted partyblog.ca will donate items to be included for a
care package that will be sent to several service men and women and include all
of the photos submitted.

I wish I could bring myself to wear the colour associated to the (shudder) Liberal Party (ewwwww!)… I support our troops but I think I’ll have to get a ribbon or wristlet or something…
