What is yellow ribbon song army?

The Yellow Ribbon Song, also known as "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," is a popular song that has become a symbol of hope, love, and support for military service members. It was written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown in 1973 and became a hit for the group Dawn featuring Tony Orlando.

The song tells the story of a man who has just been released from prison and is hoping to reconcile with his loved one. He asks her to tie a yellow ribbon around an oak tree in their hometown as a sign of her forgiveness and willingness to reconcile. The lyrics, “Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree, It's been three long years, Do you still want me?” soon became associated with the return of soldiers from the Vietnam War who were eagerly welcomed home by their loved ones.

The yellow ribbon became a symbol of support for military personnel serving overseas, and the song became a rallying cry for Americans who wanted to show their appreciation for the sacrifices made by those in the armed forces. Today, the yellow ribbon remains a powerful symbol of hope and support for military service members and their families.
