You may be aware of the trend to honor public service professionals by wearing red on Fridays. We’re talking LE, Public Safety, Fire/EMS as well as military. You may see folks out wearing red shoe laces, a hat, or even just a ribbon. It doesn’t really matter, so long as you take the time to remember. The Wear Some Red website has some cool posters (like this one) you can download to help raise awareness.
Created by Travis Getz, an artist who does a lot of work in support of military Family Support Groups, he wanted to so something to more inclusively honor all of those who sacrifice to keep America safe.

Thats another really wonderful way for those of us who cant serve, to honor those who can and do for us. I will definately wear some red on fridays!
British Army Officers have a long tradition of wearing red (pink) trousers. I also belong to a drinking club that does a bit of running to work up a thirst called Hash House Harriers who have the occasional red dress run when members wear red ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lima_Red_Dress_Hash_Chaclacayo_01.jpg ) I’ll mention WSRF to all my chums.
