The Yellow Ribbon Month For Veterans of American Wars
VeteransPlus, a national non-profit started by Veterans for Veterans, submits that the month of November should be nationally recognized as “Yellow Ribbon Month” as a tribute to all Veterans and their families who have sacrificed for our freedom. As of now, November 11th is the officially recognized day designated for Veterans. VeteransPlus believes that it’s simply not enough. Together we have the power to truly "Salute" our Veterans and their families in honor.
Why is this important?
Our government recognizes 13 wars in its history and countless conflicts around the globe. More than 100 million men and women have served in the military to defend the liberty and independence we have today. VeteransPlus created www.YellowRibbonMonth.org in hopes of giving Americans a virtual place to say thank you to military and Veteran families. VeteransPlus and many grateful Americans believe that the entire month of November should be dedicated to commemorate and honor Servicemembers, Veterans, and Families of the Fallen, especially the 25+ million Veterans living today.
