Hi, everyone!! One of my cousins just sent the following to me in an e-mail and I wanted to share it with everyone here.

A movement has been started like that from Desert Storm.
During Desert Storm we tied yellow ribbons anywhere we could. Well,now the movement is to tie purple ribbons the same way. This is for two reasons.
1. In remembrance of not only the firefighters, police officers, paramedics who have died, but also for all who have died in this terrible tragedy.
2. Just as in the military, when a serviceman get injured, he is given the Purple Heart. Well, our country has been injured to its core.
Please pass this on to everyone you know, and let's see purple ribbons everywhere. Along with the flag of the United States of America.

Please keep this in mind when you are putting up ribbons!! AS soon as I can get to a craft store, I will be adding the purple ribbon to the red, white and blue ones I already have up. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
