KarenR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've never heard of this, sounds like a lovely idea. And an excuse to buy more clothes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I haven't heard of it either, but what a lovely idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Mr Google suggests that it is something that started in Canada a couple of years ago and might have been adopted in the USA. The UK references to it seem to suggest that the idea reached here this week. I thought the thing to wear was a yellow ribbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I hadn't heard of it, but a nice idea. Surely yellow ribbons are for hostages/prisoners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 From what I have been told, the red is to symbolise the blood shed by our soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Lovely thought - I have a red scrunchie in if that counts? I love red, so it shouldn't be too hard to do this. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalu Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I had the email yesterday about it but got the impression it was from the USA and more of a chain thing than something that has really been taken up here. Will try to find the email....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
