There is a current trend for many people to wear red on Friday in support of the American troops. There are several popular urban legends as to the origin of this trend. But all the stories seem to get to the same basic idea. And, that is: what our military personnel want the most from us as civilians is our support and to encourage others to show their support as well. For a little more than a year now, the entire staff of Walker's Drug Store has worn red on Fridays - to show our support of the American troops. It takes very little effort on our part and we hope that not only have we shown our support but that we have inspired others to do the same.
Recently, we noticed Second Harvest Food Bank has some wonderful red tee shirts. We chose to wear their tee shirts en masse on a Friday recently. Wearing those red tee shirts on Friday, July 2, 2010 gave us the opportunity to tell our customers and friends about "wearing red on Fridays to support the American troops" and "Second Harvest Food Bank who strives to eliminate local hunger through solicitation, education and the distribution of food." It was our pleasure to get double service from a single red tee shirt!
