I would say this is unbelievable, but we see more and more of this kind of thing every day.
Untie the yellow ribbons. That’s what the local town board of Litchfield is telling several people who have tied ribbons around five trees on the Litchfield Green. The reason they need to come down, the board says, is because the ribbons that show support for American soldiers overseas will set a precedent for other causes to put up ribbons. They also say the current ribbons cause a dangerous tree killing fungus.
Leslie Caron has taken the lead in the fight to keep the ribbons in the center of town. She says that they have been there since 2003 and no other group has put ribbons up on the green. Caron also says that the she has taken care of the ribbons to ensure they are clean and presentable. “They did make a resolution that besides holiday decorations, there could never be anything on this green because of our five yellow ribbons,” Caron said.
Caron also disputes that the ribbons cause fungus. Litchfield arborist Tom Martinsen agreed. “You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t need to be botanist to know that the the ribbon is having no adverse effect on that tree,” Martinsen said.
The Big Feed blog hopes the town board gets dog poop for Christmas. So do I!

They use the freedoms and saftey provided by the Armed Forces to eliminate something that pays homage to the same.
Yet they will be the first to scream “where were you?” if, God forbid, a terrorist attack were to happen in their backyard.
Talk about hypocrites.

Are you kidding me. Soldiers are fighting and dying overseas and that town is fighting over ribbons. Get a mayor in there that can run the place. Have a certain area for the ribbons dedicated to the troops, a park, or something. I’m sure there would be a couple of volunteers to help keep it nice looking. Life is too short, too many bigger problems. Stop fighting with each other and worry about the ones that are fighting for us.
