This throw blanket is a great gift idea for an individual supporting a friend or family member waiting for a returning military soldier.
The Yellow Ribbon is a national symbol is the United States that symbolizes civilians awaiting the safe return of loved ones or anyone serving in the military that are unable to come home until their duty is complete. The whole idea of the Yellow Ribbon began in the 1970s with a popular song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon ‘Round the Old Oak tree”, which was sang and performed by Tony Orlando and Dawn. The song was sang for a convict getting out of prison who was still welcomed home. The idea was carried over to families and loved owns awaiting the return of troops in the military. The Yellow Ribbon was widespread in support for hostages in the crisis in Iran. The Yellow Ribbon popularity was renewed again in the 1990s during the Gulf War and the slogan “support our troops” accompanied the Yellow Ribbons. Yellow Ribbons and the meaning continue on and can be seen as magnetized shaped ribbons that are seen on the outside of automobiles. The meaning continues throughout the war in Iraq.
