Hello there,
I am currently a Sgt in the Marine Corps and I'm in Iraq right now. I am the Marine standing with our flag on your website. I would just like to express my thanks
to you all for everything you are doing. You have no idea how much you have helped my mother during her time of worry. She has been very stressed about my being
here, but you guys helped her in her knowing she's not alone. It takes great people to make a great difference, and from the bottom of all of our hearts over here,
thank you for your support. Sincerely, Sgt Sandel, M.W.

The ribbon is 4 1/2 inches wide of a silky textured plastic called tafeta. Excellent for tying around a tree, post or flag pole. Double pigment and UV protectant for outdoor use.
Ideal for decorating downtown areas and parade routes.

News about Operation Yellow Ribbon
Thank you!
Heather, Hello:
I am LCDR Mick Bastian, the Executive Officer of the
USS Rushmore. It has come to my attention that your organization has
donated several supplies including ribbon material and other nice
things to Tammi Royales of the Rushmore Family Support Group, for our
upcoming Homecoming in June. I wanted to send a note to thank you for your kind donations and your
support of the United States Navy and to the Rushmore.
It is
organizations such as yours that make this country such a great place
to live and, in our case, defend. Your donations will help to construct a Flower Lei that
will be draped over the bow of the ship as we arrive back to homeport
in San Diego, and I know the Family Support Group has plans for many
other things now that they have supplies. Please thank your entire
organization on our behalf, and also to Sue and Bill, who have
assisted with Rushmore Family Support Group. Thanks again and god
bless, Mick Bastian, Rushmore XO

What People Are Saying...
Ms. Norman and Ms. Harsh,
Thank you kindly for the ribbons that you've sent to the Auburn, NY VFW Post
for our upcoming deactivation ceremony.
Our National Guard unit (1-108th Infantry) has been in existance for over
107 years and has been involved in nearly every major action that our
country has found itself. (In fact, we were involved with General Pershing
on the Mexican/US border in 1916 - one of the first "homeland defense"
missions.) Since 9/11 we've deployed on stateside security mission and to
Iraq and as recently as last week, were on duty protecting the NY city area
railroads and rail yards.
Sadly, this Sunday our unit will be deactivated and the companies
transferred to other commands.
On that day, our entire battalion will march from the center of the City of
Auburn NY, to our armory. Certainly a rare event for such a large formation
of soldiers to march down a civilian street. An event that the majority of
our soldiers mostl likely will never experience again. For the jaded
amongst our ranks who see this as boring or a waste of time, the sight of
all your ribbons along the march route will surely make them stand taller
and understand why we should all take pride in what we do and for what
others have done before us. Towards the end of our official formation will
be all able bodied veterans who have elected to march with us. The ribbons
for them will be a reminder of when they came home, quite likely without any
pomp and circumstance and they will be gratefull for the gesture of respect.
For the civilians along the route, free to shower cheer or scorn as they see
fit, the ribbons will be a distinct symbol of why they should honor the
soldiers marching along their city street - their freedom is protected by
those same soldiers who have done so in the past and will in the future.
Thank you once again for your support.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Romano

Thank you so much!
You are also doing a great service to our country by getting these ribbons out when yellow ribbons in our area are often sold out. We are proud of our troops and it is great to see such support for them and the families. I emailed my husband about this and their unit is very touched. God Bless

Heather,
Thank you so much for what you are doing for me and for the other batallion
wives I know. We are extremely excited about their return and just knowing
that people all over the country are supporting them means so much. I will
definitely put the poster up for you (it is the least I can do). I will let
you know when I receive the bows. Take care and God bless!
Autumn
Heather,
Thanks again so much. I look forward to receiving the yellow ribbons and may even have enough extra to provide some to my friends at work.
Your emails have touched my heart and I am very grateful for all your efforts on behalf of our troops, and my son. It does make a difference to them when they see the warm, patriotic response from all of us "civilians". My son has been stopped at the airport (while wearing his uniform) and had people thank him and shake his hand. It does help lift their spirits, especially when they are leaving their families behind for a time. I know that the work that you are doing has lifted the hearts of many. Keep up the great work!
I know the families of the troops deploying from Ft Riley will appreciate the yellow ribbons that you will be placing on their behalf.
God bless you!
Karen
I just wanted to say thank you for the yellow ribbons that were dropped off today at the Seward NE Armory. I'm sure our soldiers friends and families will appreciate them. Thank you for all of your support.

Susan and Heather, and all of your help too,
I just finished reading about your efforts in our local paper (Seward County Independent in Nebraska) and after viewing your website, I just wanted to say Thank You for all of your work, and for putting forth a positive attitude, and for doing so much to help people to show support for our troops. I am so sorry that I didn't know about your visit to our area! I would have loved to have stopped to say thanks in person and shake your hands, and of course to purchase some ribbons! J We have a son serving in Baghdad with the 3RD ID, and it warms my heart more than you know to see this kind of effort put forth for our troops.
Thank You, and My best wishes to you both, and in all of your efforts.
