Excerpt from "Yellow Ribbons"
"Before this generation was born, I was tying scraps of yellow to every
tree, flag pole and sign post in Ocean County. I was nineteen. I was a
crusader. I was in love.
Two wars later, I was one of the few on the block to understand why
the yellow ribbons were important. I attached them to the flagpole line
just below the MIA flag. I tied them around the lamppost. I tied them
to the giant maples shading the front walk. And I pinned a new one to
my purse strap. Hell, thirty years had passed since Vince was officially
listed as MIA. But I still wore a ribbon. Unlike dreams, some habits
live on." (Unedited excerpt)
