Morgan Boes, age 13, joined other teens in writing letters to their deploying parents during the 489th Civil Affairs Battalion's pre-deployment Yellow Ribbon event in Knoxville, Tenn., March 19, 2011. During the pre-deployment Yellow Ribbon events, children are seperated by age groups and given the opportunity to discuss their feelings toward their parent leaving for a deployment and build friendships. They discuss what types of feelings they may encounter throughout the year and how to manage them. Once the soldier is deployed, families are invited back for two more Yellow Ribbon events to help sustain a healthy family.
