There is no one so blind as one who refuses to see.

Numerous corrections and you still insist it simply MUST be the way you see it, not the way thousands of others throughout history have seen it.

Meaning is amorphous, but the meaning of a yellow ribbon tied around a tree is pretty clear from the historic context of the innumerable yellow ribbons put out in recognition of innumerable warriors - it is a civilian recognition that our forces are out there and we await their HONORABLE return.
