Yellow Rihbon Communities <br />Communities <br />What is a Yellow Ribbon Community'? <br />A Yellow Ribbon Community unites all areas within a community to create a <br />comprehensive network that connects and coordinates agencies, organizations, <br />resources and employers for the purpose of proactively supporting Servicemembers and military families. <br />tAlhy become a Yellow Ribbon Community? <br />Since 9/11, thousands of Minnesotans have served our country. By developing a <br />Yellow Ribbon Network, communities unite to honor and embrace those affected <br />by military deployments. The outward showing of support enables successful <br />transition all the way home. The community's effort transcends the military <br />to any group in need and builds a stronger, more compassionate community. <br />How to become a Yellow Ribbon City? <br />Each community will develop a sustainable action plan demonstrating their <br />commitment to Servicemembers and military families. The community will <br />identify and connect leaders in key areas across the community, leverage <br />existing support activities, build awareness throughout the community and <br />take action. <br />If your city is not listed below, that doesn't mean work hasn't begun.
