for the returning soldiers
Tying a yellow ribbon around an oak tree on Veterans Day symbolizes support and remembrance for military personnel, particularly those who are deployed or missing in action. The yellow ribbon has historical roots, popularized by the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," which represents hope for the safe return of loved ones. It serves as a visible sign of gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices made by veterans and their families. This act fosters community awareness and honors the commitment of those who have served in the armed forces.
They call it a yellow ribbon, but it's not really a ceremony. It's a lot of family briefings and little family events over a two day period. The yellow ribbon was designed to give families information about the upcoming deployment and prepare them for what's to come.

The term "Veterans Day" is spelled without an apostrophe to indicate that the day is a day for honoring all veterans, not just one specific veteran or a possession or attribute belonging to veterans. The absence of the apostrophe sets it apart from possessive forms like "Veteran's Day" or "Veterans' Day."
