Thank you for sharing. My son and grandson are both deployed. Our families are missing them.

Once my husband (USMC-Retired Now) and I were eating at Red Lobster, we ask our waiter for our check and he said it was already paid for and he said the person that paid for the check said thanks for serving our Country...

I was in total shock, and what a wonderful think to do for us, and someday and waiting patiently to pay it forward, it was such a blessing....

Me too!

This has been in place in our area for a while. I started seeing red T-shirts etc and couldn't figure out why, so I asked and was told it was support for our troops.

Now that I've cleared the tears from my eyes - sending you a big thank you for sharing this wonderful story - I'll be emailing this on to friends & family and wearing red on Fridays!

Well, this is the first I've heard of Red Friday's, but I will certainly be in red every Friday from now on. Thanks Ditter!

Thank you Ditter for posting this. People just do not understand what it takes to send your only son off to war. Mine is on his second tour in Afgh.

Very good Ditter.
When you see some of our troop in a store in the US go up to them and let them know your surport.

Thanks for sharing this touching story I teared up so much could hardly finish reading it.We often forget how much our men and women and their families sacrifice for us everyday.
