Lim hopes the Yellow Ribbon Project will include all age groups in the future.
“A SIMPLE yellow ribbon’s what I need to set me free, ” sang Tony Orlando and Dawn, way back in 1973.
The song tells the story of a man released after three years in jail who asks his girl to tie a yellow ribbon on an oak tree to let him know if she still wants him. “I’m really still in prison and my love, she holds the key, ” sings the man. His girl, in reply, ties not just one but hundreds of yellow ribbons on the tree.
