The mission of redshirtfridays.org is to show support for our servicemen and women. We are not a political organization. We do not care whether or not one supports or does not support the war. We care only about making our support of our servicemen and women known to our fellow Americans and the world. We are a silent majority that does not wish to remain silent anymore. We need to let our servicemen and women know we support their sacrifice and we will not forget them and we will do this by wearing red on every Friday. |
If you read or look at nothing else on this website read “Hope Rides Alone” This is the reason for REDSHIRTFRIDAYS!

Treat The Troops

 |
Volunteers from Spring Hill, FL comprise one of the many groups across the country that bake and send cookies to deployed military men and women on behalf of Treat The Troops. The hard working ladies and men in Spring Hill have baked and sent over 35,000 cookies in just 15 months, but are increasing that number every day! Each volunteer bakes as he or she has time, then takes the treats to Barbara Newlin, the area coordinator, who has a freezer in her garage that’s dedicated to just cookies. Once a month the packing team gets together, boxes them up, and ships them to troops that have either requested them from Treat The Troops’ website, or have had family or friends write on their behalf.
Across the country, Treat The Troops volunteers have baked and sent over 900,000 cookies! Receiving over 250 requests a month, covering the postage takes a constant fund raising effort. To help with donations for postage expenses and baking ingredients, please send checks made out to “Treat The Troops” to Barbara Newlin, 4260 Hunters Pass, Spring Hill, FL 34609. Treat The Troops is an all-volunteer organization, recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization by the IRS.

You must read this poem we received via email: "A Different Christmas Poem"
A Veteran
Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to " The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
