Employees of Academy School District 20’s transportation department in Colorado Springs, Colo., have been wearing red shirts every Friday in support of service members.

Rick Grosklaus, a supervisor with the department, wrote to the Air Force Times that employees have been wearing the shirts “as a means to show (service members) our support for the great sacrifices they make for our freedoms.”

The gesture is part of an Internet campaign called Red Shirt Fridays.
