Brian, thanks for that! As you probably deduced, I’m a long time admirer of ole Herb. Long may he reign!

[...] – Sister Toldjah relays the reason many Southwest Airlines employees wear red on Fridays. All of a sudden, I feel free to move about the country. Seriously, Support the troops, start by wearing red on Friday. [...]

It would seem to me that everybody, no matter what they think of the war personally, can make the effort to show that they support the troops.

Of course, that’s easy for me to say. I look good in red.

Thanks so much for the link to the Southwest blog, http://www.blogsouthwest.com! At our Headquarters Building, you don’t even need a calendar to know it’s Friday because of all the red.

Incidentally, Tango, Herb is still very much on the job as Executive Chairman–and he does have a big smile on his face.

Somewhere, Herb Kelleher (founder and previous longtime CEO of Southwest Airlines) has a big SMILE on his face.
