The tradition of wearing ribbons as symbols of support began in the late 1970s with the yellow ribbon, which represented support for U.S. troops during the Iran Hostage Crisis. It gained popularity through the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn. Over time, various colored ribbons have been adopted for different causes, such as red for Heart disease awareness and pink for Breast cancer awareness, helping to raise awareness and show solidarity for various social issues.
