What do we do when the war ends and families are reunited; What comes After the Yellow Ribbon?
After the Yellow Ribbon
After the Yellow Ribbon was a conference held in 2011 to develop tools that church, military and academic communities could use in order to approach service members and veterans as human beings, and to understand and heal the unseen wounds of war (including PTSD and moral injury). After the Yellow Ribbon was an opportunity for these communities in particular to listen to and learn from those who endure the burden of doing violence in our name.
