Purple ribbons to mark 9/11-Unproven!

A Purple Ribbon is the New Symbol of Commemorating The Attack on America-Unproven!

Summary of eRumor
The email says that just as the yellow ribbon became so visible during Operation Desert Storm and the Gulf War, the purple ribbon is becoming the same for the Attack on America.

The Truth
There's no way of knowing the answer to this one since it is not an official effort but apparently one that has been started by someone via email.

There has been a lot of visibility given to the red, white, and blue ribbons that are seen on television and on the Internet. Unless the purple ribbon idea catches on, it seems that those have already become the symbol.

A real example of the story as it has been circulated:

A movement has been started like that from Desert Storm. During Desert Storm, we tied yellow ribbons anywhere we could.

Well, now the movement is to tie purple ribbons the same way.

This is for two reasons:

1. In remembrance of not only the firefighters, police officers, paramedics who have died, and also for those who have also died in this terrible tragedy.

2. Just as in the military, when a serviceman gets injured, he is given the Purple Heart, our country has been injured to its core.

Please pass this on to everyone you know, and let's see those purple ribbons everywhere. Along with the flag of the United States of America. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. May God Bless America.
