Yellow Ribbon? That would be the original...around her neck... rather than the other one.

I'd plead for you to be very careful. Many of us experienced the anti-war movement of the 60s as an anti-soldier (anti-us!) movement rather than what it was intended to be. Having a seven-year-old girl sent over by her mother in an airport to ask how many babies I had killed (I was in uniform, just returned from Vietnam and just got out of the Army) left an indelible impression. A concert to support the soldier and to support the families is not the time and place for anti-war songs, because the message gets confused very quickly and will never get unconfused.
