Yellow Ribbon Program Links Military Families With Support Services

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. - Service members and relatives of American troops on deployment gathered at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center this weekend to learn more about the Department of Defense Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP), which aims to connect military families with support services.

Members from several branches of the military attended the event, which was hosted by the U.S. Army 99th Regional Support Command.

"The program itself, the purpose of it, is to make sure the families are stabilized when the service member is serving the country," says program manager Jeff Campbell.
