Whereas, American troops and civilian men and women serving our country, both past and present, have served around the world, protecting the freedoms we often take for granted at home; and

Whereas, The yellow ribbon has come to be recognized as signifying honor, courage, and hope for military families and loved ones; and
Whereas, The yellow ribbon is a symbol associated with those waiting for the return of a loved one or of military troops who are temporarily unable to come home and includes the display of yellow ribbons on trees, houses and other buildings, on one’s person, as well as a magnet version often displayed on vehicles; and
