yes, they are. they are on the railings of a church in new york, the marble collegiate church on 5th avenue. the gold ribbons, display names, ranks, and ages of thousands of american service people who have lost their lives, and they represent the prayers for the surviving families and friends. they are read out loud each sunday morning and then their names are attached to the ribbons and attached to the fence with the others.
Very interesting photo, just read that they are memorial ribbons, so it makes it sad, but it is still nice to remember them! x

just around the other side there were blue and green ones too. the blue ribbons for the families and friends iraqis who have lost their lives and the green ribbons representing the prayers for peace in the middle east.
no it’s at a church on 5th avenue, outside the hotel where i stay and not far from the empire state building. the gold ribbons make such a statement against the stone work.
A really great capture!
thank you x

so many, i cant tell you how many golden ribbons were attached to these railing and i’m sure that is just a fraction of the truth. very sad indeed
A beautiful memorial!
it completely surrounds the church, it makes you stop and take a moment to think of all the brave soldiers
Beautiful image, very moving.
it certainly is very moving, if only there was peace.
Very poignant, is this at WTC site?
