I received this from Barbara Waddell who lives in Chatom, Alabama, Washington County. If you like it....do it....and pass it own to your friends. Better do it in a hurry, before the purple ribbon runs out. I was late looking for a flag, and I ended up using pipe cleaners, red, white and blue and wrapped them around my car antenna ,it really looks pretty neat. (Four reds, four blues and four whites.)

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. ____________________________________________________________
