memorial ribbons
Awareness fabric badges
Memorial ribbons are looped fabric strips worn or displayed to honor the dead or show solidarity with a cause.
The ribbon's color carries meaning—black for mourning, yellow for missing soldiers, red for AIDS awareness.
They appear pinned to lapels at funerals, tied around trees awaiting someone's return, or displayed on vehicles: The town was covered in memorial ribbons after the shooting.
