While the history of the Yellow Ribbon as a sign of military support begins with the poem &quot;She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,&quot; it began gaining popularity in the United states in 1979 with the Iran Hostage Crisis. It&#039;s popularity returned during the Gulf War along with the phrase &quot;Support Our Troops,&quot; and has continued gaining popularity since 2003, when Magnet America introduced the &quot;Support Our Troops&quot; Ribbon Magnets in honor of those serving in Iraq. This &quot;Support Our Troops&quot; Yellow Ribbon Decal is another great way to show your support for the men and women who serve in our country&#039;s military.
