Red Friday (or R.E.D. Friday) is a weekly tradition where people wear the color red on Fridays to show support, solidarity, and gratitude for military service members, veterans, and their families.
What It Stands For
• R.E.D. most commonly stands for Remember Everyone Deployed, a movement reminding citizens of service members stationed away from home.
• In broader campaigns like Red Shirt Friday or historical military family initiatives, wearing red honors all active-duty personnel, veterans, and fallen service members regardless of politics or current deployment status.
