Geocache Description:


Det är Sveriges enda veteransoldatförbund Fredsbaskrarna Sverige som har populariserat och tagit fram det Gula Bandet som är till stöd för soldater som tjänstgör i internationella insatser utomlands i Försvarsmaktens regi.

The symbol became widely known in civilian life in the 1970s. It was the central theme of the popular song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree", Written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown and recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn (among many others), as the sign a released convict requested from his wife or lover to indicate that she would welcome him home. He would be able to see it from the bus driving by their house, and would stay on the bus in the absence of the ribbon. He turned out to be very welcome: there were a hundred yellow ribbons.
