RED Friday returns as combat deployments ramp up
A US military campaign is underway in the Middle East. The operation has resulted in the deaths of seven American service members and injured 140 more. Details about the campaign's objectives and timeline are scarce.
In the US, a tradition is being observed this Friday. People are wearing red to show support for deployed troops. This practice has been around for some time and serves as a reminder of those serving overseas.
Further information about the military campaign and the tradition of wearing red is available from the original source. The campaign is reportedly the largest US military operation in the region since 2003.
