(Deming) – If you stop by the  Deming Elks Lodge on a Friday, you’re bound to see a lot of red – red shirts  that is, worn in support of our fighting men and women.

The red-shirt effort,  spearheaded by member Martha Johnson, is a reminder that Elks members support  our brave troops stationed in harms’ way.
 
In fact, the special  red shirts worn by at least 70 local Elks members, sport the patriotic language: “Land of the Free Because of the Brave.”

The Red-Shirt Friday  idea is patterned after a V-F-W post in Show Low, Arizona.

Proceeds from the sale  of the red shirts go to the New Mexico Elks Wounded Warriors Project. 

The local lodge  presented a nearly 400-dollar check to Elks State President Roger Hamman of  Roswell during his recent visit.

More shirts have been  ordered.
