Origin of the Yellow Ribbon?

Significance of the Yellow Ribbon symbol: welcoming the imprisoned back to freedom.

Origin of the yellow ribbon:

This is a true story that happened in the United States in the 1960s.

An American prisoner who was sentenced to three years for making a mistake, on the eve of his release from prison, wrote a letter to his wife in which he expressed his deep remorse and apology for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband and a father, and while looking forward to returning home, the family could re-accept him, he also thought that he had made a mistake, and was not qualified to ask for the acceptance of the family, and therefore he desperately looked forward to knowing that if his wife still loved him, and was still waiting for him, he would be able to return home to his family. wife still loves him and is still waiting for him to come home, then tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree at the entrance of the village; if he cannot see the yellow ribbon on the tree, he understands his wife's feelings, and he will continue to ride far away.

On the long car ride from Florida to Miami, he was apprehensive, both expectant and afraid of being hurt. As the car approached Miami's town square, he didn't even dare open his eyes, pleading with the driver and the people in the car to help him see if the old oak tree was tied with a yellow ribbon. When he heard the cheers of all the passengers in the car, he opened his eyes and saw hundreds of yellow ribbons fluttering ...... in the wind on the old oak tree at the entrance to the village. His wife, with her son, daughter and the whole village were waiting for his return at the old oak tree. Everyone in the car, at home and in the village was clapping, and in the cheers, the family hugged each other tightly.

The driver of the long-distance bus was y touched by this touching scene, and immediately notified the local media of this story with a phone at the entrance of the village, and almost at the same time, this touching story was spread all over the United States. The country caused a great stir at that time, and to this day, this true, touching story continues to circulate.
