Whether you are for or against the war, our troops need our support now.
Anti-war demonstrations were for before the war started. They will not and cannot stop the war now. They only demoralize the troops that are fighting. Do not support such demonstrations. You can be against the war, but making a scene of it now shows the troops that you are against them.
Display yellow ribbons where ever you can. Pinned to your shirt/jacket, car
antenna, motorcycle, mailbox, front porch, big tree in front yard...
If you fly a ribbon on your vehicle, use a dab of super glue at the ends to
prevent fraying and on the knot to keep it secure.
Fly U.S. and British Flags.
Petition your community government to fly all available flags accompanied with a yellow ribbon. Help them understand that it is not to support the war but to support the troops... no political position.
Display a "Support Our Troops" flag (see below) where ever you can.
If you have a family member in the war, display the Blue Star where ever you
can (see below).
Make people aware your family is there!
