My daughter is headed to Afghanistan in March.

Does anyone know the proper etiquette for this? I don't have an “old oak tree” but I do have several Bradfords.

I would like to tie a ribbon on each but I don't want to break etiquette.

Thank you for raising a patriot and please thank her for her service.

You will have a child in a war zone. Etiquette is any damn thing you want it to be! Hang 20 yellow ribbons on each of your trees and surround your property with flags and prominently display your blue star banner with a spot light on it 24/7 until she returns.

Then put a big sign in your yard with the words:

BRING

IT

ON

Thank you for your Daughter. I pray her tour is a safe one.
When I was in the Gulf, my children put yellow ribbons on the maple trees in front of our house. We didn't have oak trees either.

Put up whatever you want to put up. She's your daughter, and she's putting her life on the line for the rest of us. Thank you both.

I'd suggest that whatever you do choose to put up, should be maintained and replaced as necessary to keep a respectful and respectable appearance.

You could put up a blue star placard in the window of your home, but then they’d probably have some libtards pass an ordinance banning that dangerous practice as well.
