History of the Yellow Ribbon for Military
A Living Tradition Passed on for Decades
https://marineparents.com/announcements/AnnouncementDetails.asp?ID=745

The yellow ribbon in military tradition has been around for decades and perhaps centuries. The origins are unclear, and what it represents has changed over time. This article is not an all-inclusive history but an overview of the last few decades of military use.

Wearing and otherwise displaying a yellow ribbon to remember loved ones far away or to identify with a particular cause is a contemporary custom rooted in popular culture and folk tradition, some say as far back as the civil war. Indeed, you can infer that when a yellow ribbon is displayed, it's intended to signify the binding ties between loved ones separated by military conflict or long distances.

Yellow ribbons gained popularity during the Gulf War in the early 1990s and often appeared alongside the slogan "Support Our Troops." Yellow ribbons were tied to trees and seen on bumpers with the sentiment to support those sacrificing for our country a hope they would return home safely. The practice continued during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq after September 11, 2001.

The yellow ribbon is a living tradition and symbol of military support. It has taken on new meanings through the years. Based on history, you can surmise that its symbolism will continue to evolve.

The yellow ribbon photo in the graphic is a photograph of a framed image in the MarineParents.com corporate office from an article in the New York Times, 2005, about the organization's founder, Tracy Della Vecchia. The yellow ribbon was tied to a tree in her front yard during her Marine son's three combat deployments from 2003-2005.
