I can say without a doubt, that JohnnyCanuck is not afghan dad. I met this gentlemen last weekend in the Durham region while he was out supporting our troops at an event put on by the town of Bowmanville. If I thought otherwise, I would be the first to say so.

We do not for one second "hate" what these men have done and we have never stated that. When the media came to us, we simply raised valid questions about their motives surrounding the fundraising. You sir, have not been privy (as far as I know) to the correspondence that has played out between...

Excuse me sir, but just in case you've not noticed throughout these last 11 pages of replies or not heard it in the news media over the last 2.5 years, the original Red Friday's campaign is not about raising funds for charity, it is simply a show of support. I'm not quite sure why you believe...

I am way too tired to make much comment on this tonight, I've just returned home from a very long day/trip to Bowmanville, Ont, and back, today for an AMAZING support rally (not in conjunction with todays "other" events) but I have to say that I'm appalled!! After the things I've seen and read...

Agent13, Showing your support should NEVER upset anyone. I hope you continue to show your support in the future, your friend will appreciate it as will all other forces member's and families. Enjoy you day tomorrow!! Cheers.

Harley, we are not sure why the focus is being put solely on those who have been KIA. That's a good questions to ask a rep from the Red Friday's Foundation. As for the Saturday part, unfortunately plans cannot always accommodate a Friday event, therefore Saturday (or other days of the week) is...

Thank you Weinie!!! Just a point of interest to anyone in the area... Tomorrow in Bowmanville there will be a "Durham Support Our Troops Rally" in conjuction with Canadian Forces day which is being held at Clarington Fields, 2375 Baseline Rd. W. beginning at 11:30am "The event features guests...

Local organizers defend Red Fridays Rally Huge highway procession, ceremony to honour troops goes Saturday Wed May 28, 2008 By Jillian Follert DURHAM -- A massive event to commemorate Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan is scheduled to hit the streets this Saturday but organizers aren't...

WOW! Ok first of all, CaptainJ, you've helped us through it all. We knew it was going to be intense and rough on us, but you're encouragement and kind words helped us along the way. It's great having you by our side!! You know I've heard it so many times, but everytime I see/hear/read that...

Seems pretty contradictory, his mission statement that is, doesn't it? As for that certain Cpl, he's been asking for quite some time to have any info pertaining to him removed from the site, and as you can see, it's still there. I'm certainly NOT surprised! The info should have been removed...

First of all to CaptainJ, Thank you! Everything we've been trying to say and so much more, you've accomplished. This topic pulls right at our heart strings so sometimes, it's difficult to put what/how we're feeling about all this into a proper, intelligent sentence (especially when, like...

The Warrior's day parade is a wonderful show of support and I did hear about the theme of this years parade at the CNE this summer. I believe that it is for this particular event that Lisa and I have been asked to be in attendance. I look forward to it. These are the perfect displays of...

Actually, there is already a day set aside annually for this exact thing which is commonly referred to as 'Canadian Forces' day. Different bases go about it in different ways, for example, this Friday in Ottawa, NDHQ has organized, for the second year in a row, a "run in red" which consists of a...

Agreed. Unfortunately, in my opinion of course, this was put together all wrong. Perhaps a little more thought should have been involved surrounding the day's 'activities' From the feedback here, and elsewhere all day today, this is not something that people are ok with, families of fallen...

I really appreciate how people are beginning to see what we see when it comes to this, we are NOT trying to be vindictive....and its not a matter of taking sides (I know someone will pipe up at some point and that's so, but it's not) it's about seeing the full picture, it's about knowing what...

Thank You Old Sweat! That means an aweful lot.. Not only to myself but I speak for Lisa as well in this regard. Thank you, not only for supporting us, but thank you for all you've done for our country! You make us proud and for you, we wear red! :)

Look, I'm not in this to argue or even debate the issue for that matter. I've said my peace privately and publicly how I, how we (Lisa and I) feel about Brian Muntz and his organization. We're not looking to pick fights, we're just trying to defend morals. We're not looking to disrespect Mr...

Red Friday's is NOT about representing the fallen. Where have you been? I would ask that you educate yourself regarding Red Fridays and what it stands for before making such ignorant comments. Lisa and I do NOT represent the fallen, we help spread the message of wearing red on Fridays and when...

Never have we had a problem with anyone wanting to honor our fallen. The problem with the families is that comments have been left on the site indicating that all family members were contacted and issued invitations to attend. It becomes a problem when some of those families have no idea what's...

Ok let me clarify something... First of all, Lisa and I have ALWAYS acknowledged that the original "idea" of wearing red on Friday's began in the US, however upon much research we learned that it was a very political demonstration against the war in iraq. While we loved the concept of...
