My first experience with ribbons was the Gulf War. I remember the yellow ribbons that everyone was wearing, tying to trees, etc. Even as an 8 year old I thought they were dumb as shit (although I did collect Gulf War trading cards, which I still have, and which are awesome). Were ribbons of support a thing before that? I assume so, but Gulf War was the first time I was old enough to be aware of the world during a conflict.
