This was emailed to me and instead of emailing everyone, I thought it would be easier just to put it here.

Red? Why red? I don’t know any heterosexual male that has anything red in his wardrobe. At least I don’t. Red is the communist color. “He’s a red”, meaning he is a communist. Why not blue. I have lots of stuff blue. Females and males both look good in blue. I am sure there are lots of people that have blue clothes.

I am as flag waving kind of guy as there is. I would like to support this effort, but RED? I’d rather wear pink.

Thanks again to all that have gone into the service or are in the service now that have helped us have a free country.
