On Fridays We Wear Red
On Fridays we wear red, to honor those fighting while you are safe in bed.
Red stands for Remember Everyone Deployed... Hopefully our support can help fill a small part of their void
I really dont care how you feel about politics or war, they are risking their lives while you complain about just mopping your floor.
They risk their lives every single day, meanwhile you are mad because you didn't get your way.
They live their lives way over sea, Barely getting to hear from friends or family.
Most people here live in their little bubble. We don't think about them until our life is in trouble.
We think we are all so indestructible... but it is because our men and women keep us untouchable.
They run, dive, shoot, follow the commands! They don't want the trouble reaching our sands!!
You can bet they are going to defend and protect! It isn't always about earning respect!
They don't do it for the money the fortune or fame! Some soldiers come home and nobody even knew their name!
Young men and women risking their lives for a bunch of strangers... meanwhile we barely know just the beginning of their dangers!
Toby Keith said I'm out here on the Frontline, so sleep in peace tonight... the meaning of his words, Americans have lost sight...
Tonight as you lay your head down, remember the reason you can.. you're protected by a huge military clan!
They defend with their life the land of red, white and blue!! If you live in America, that includes you!!
People defending your freedom dont care who you like. They dont care if our president is who you want to strike.
They do not care about the color of your skin. They do not care if you are fat or thin.
If you live in America they are fighting for you, because again you live in the land of freedom, under the red white and blue!
So next time you go to lay down your head... remember that on Fridays we wear red, to honor those fighting while you are safe in bed!!
