The display of a yellow ribbon has evolved as a symbol
of loyalty to those serving in the military and as a sign to welcome
them home. The custom of displaying yellow ribbons in support of
a loved one and of Americans in harm's way has deep roots in song,
folk legend and real life. During the Persian Gulf War in 1991,
Americans were inspired to decorate their lapels and their front
porches with yellow ribbons to express their support for the soldiers
sent into combat. Also, a new impulse emerged to combine the
yellow ribbons with American flags, seasonal banners and messages and
other such element to create decorative displays. |
