Yellow Ribbon Campaign

     In Korea now days, the image of yellow ribbon is widely spread among people. Most of the people put the image of yellow ribbon in the messenger. Why is this happening and what meaning does the yellow ribbon has?

     Recently, Korea went through a sad news about more than 200 people got drowned in the sea by the cause of a ship breakdown. The news was heartbreaking to all citizens so they started so called, ‘Yellow Ribbon Campaign’ in a hope for safe return of the survivors. You can also see from the history, back in the World War II, the US citizens hung the yellow ribbon around the branch and waited for the army to come back home safely. There is also a song about yellow ribbon from Tony Orlando called, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon “Round the Ole Oak Tree,” and in the US army, the popular marching song is called “Round Her Neck She Wears a Yeller Ribbon":

'Round her neck she wears a yeller ribbon,
She wears it in winter and the summer so they say,
If you ask her "Why the decoration?"
She'll say "It's fur my lover who is fur, fur away.

     The sad story behind the yellow ribbon makes my heart ache. I wish you join the yellow ribbon campaign until they ALL come home. This kind of event seem small thing but it is very important, when people gather their hearts together it will eventually spread through the world. and move other people's mind too. World peace works the same way, when people truly want peace, their hearts will move other people.
