Medicine Hat Firefighters are going to be make a statement of support for the soldiers of our great country. Many Canadians, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of Canada support the troops efforts. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity starts this Friday April 23, 2010 and continues each and every Friday until the troops are no longer needed.

Firefighters will be wearing specially made red uniform shirts on Fridays instead of the traditional navy blue, sending a deafening message that we support our soldiers afar.

 By word of mouth, let's make Canada on every Friday, a sea of red much like a Calgary Flames hockey game. If every one of us who loves this country will share this level of support with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family, it will not be long before Canada is covered in RED. It will let our troops know that the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...   "We need your support and your prayers."

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, and set the example by wearing something red every Friday!
