What is the lil yellow ribbon for ? It is a dedication to our fine US Forces we forget every day. We have the luxury of flying airplanes with friends without a care in the world. This would not be possible without their efforts, bravery and dedication. I too often do not think of our US Forces and their struggles. Can you imagine what the families go through as well? My lil reminder is a ribbon on my plane cowls. Im not sure about you but I could do a lot better thanking the US Forces. We could all do better. So next time you see any member of the US Forces just tell them thanks ! Trust me it wont cost you a penny but will pay hundreds.
