This is my mother Maureen Scanlon's re-design of the peace sign incorporating the yellow ribbon.

"When the US during the Bush administration first invaded Iraq, so many of us were caught off guard by the onslaught of those yellow "Support Our Troops" magnets that simultaneously invaded our roadways. How did they become so widespread at such a fast pace? How did those magnets quickly morph from a neutral stance in support of our troops to a pro-war, pro-Bush, anti-peace agenda?

The Peace Ribbon™, based on the peace symbol, takes back the yellow ribbon, and represents support for our troops through striving for peace. "
