In 1981, 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree' once again became popular to revive public awareness and rally American patriotism during the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
This week my home state of South Carolina once again felt the chilling effects of the ongoing war against terrorism in Afghanistan as we were brought to our knees when three soldiers lost their lives in the line of duty and many others were left wounded, maimed and suffering for our freedom.
Maybe it's time to tie the yellow ribbons to the old oak tree once again to show our support for the military families, not only in our State but across the nation.
Will you tie a ribbon to one of your trees?
Will you place a yellow ribbon in a window of your home to show your patriotic spirit?
Join me in this campaign to revive the yellow ribbon tradition throughout your community!
Let's ban together to show our respect to the families who have lost family members and for the other families who wait, worry, hope and pray for the lives of these brave soldiers hanging in the balance following the horrific attack on June 20 in Khost, Afghanistan.
