RED Campaign

The "Remember Everyone Deployed" (RED) campaign began as a grassroots movement in the United States, urging people to
wear red every Friday to show solidarity and support for deployed military personnel. Originating in 2005, RED Friday serves
as a visible reminder of the sacrifices made by service members and their families. Over the years, it has grown into a symbol of
national unity and appreciation for those serving overseas.
Join MIL in wearing red and help us make a difference for our troops and their families.
