Yellow Ribbon Military - Yellow ribbon has a long history and is used for many reasons. You can wear the yellow ribbon symbol, display it on your car or tie it to a tree.

The most common use of yellow ribbons these days is to support our troops. I had a yellow ribbon sticker on my car to show support for our troops.

When the United States began sending large numbers of troops overseas during the Persian Gulf War, yellow ribbons were displayed more prominently across the country.

It was an important symbol of the ties that bind loved ones, worn or displayed by women to remember their husbands who served overseas.

While this visual display of support for our troops is widely used, the yellow ribbon is also used for a variety of reasons.

You probably know the song "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon". It dates from the 17th century and was renovated by George A. by Norton in 1917 and rewritten by Leroy Parker and M. Ottner in 1949.

The original is about a young lady whose boyfriend goes to war. He keeps it in his mind every day. A recurring verse tells us:

Yellow Deployment Ribbon

“Around his neck he wears a fine ribbon. He wears it in winter and summer, so they say if you ask him, "Why decoration?" He will say: "My favorite is fur, fur far away"

Another popular song that you may be more familiar with is "Te a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree." Written by Irwin Levin and L. by Russell Brown in the 1970s.

This song was very popular at a time when the Vietnam War was ending and many troops were returning home.

L. According to Russell Brown, "...the genesis of this idea came from an old folk tale about a Union prisoner of war - who sent a letter to his girlfriend saying he was returning home from ' A Confederate prison camp in Georgia..." Iran. The hostage crisis and the yellow tapes

During the Iran hostage crisis, Susan E. Garrett (Jaycees ladies' service) started a campaign in support of American hostages by tying yellow ribbons around public trees.

Penelope Laingen, wife of Bruce Laingen, one of the most important foreign hostage takers, tied a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of her house. The symbolism continued to support the safe release of the hostages and to mark their safe return home in 1981.

In the 1990s, yellow ribbons were displayed again during the Gulf War. Now yellow ribbons appeared with the phrase "support our troops".

Yellow ribbons became a symbol of support during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, as well as during the deployment of troops to Afghanistan and other countries around the world.
