    I am in my 60s, so I certainly remember the song. Beyond the song, I have a close personal connection with Mr. Orlando and the group Dawn. However, I never knew about the song’s Jewish roots. Thank you.

    Maccabi Sports organization adopted Yellow because of the Yellow Star of David that Jews were forced to wear in the Shoa. There may be a double symbolism.

    I had always assumed he was a military man having "served his time" (tour of duty) rather than someone getting out of prison. It's not explicit in the song either way, but I found your comment interesting.

    Wow!! Thank you Dr Abrahamson! Only thing missing is the song in the background or YOU actually singing it! Thanks again

    That is the first song I thought of whenever I used to see a yellow ribbon, now I wear one praying everyday for all the hostages to be released. Thank you for the backstory.🎗

      The Star of David is simmilar to shaktkona in Hinduism which is related to Shakti worship ,if Judaism has to reestablish itself to its original self ,it has to look towards Hinduism ,cz Hinduism has some Jewish admixture

    That line in Conair finally makes sense; when Nicholas Cage writes his last letter home to his wife (and toddler) from prison he says tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, cuz this man's coming home.

    Why something modern? Do the Holy Scriptures not provide a way to show solidarity with those kidnapped on October 7, 2023?
