BETTENDORF, Iowa - A couple has finally discovered what was happeningto the yellow ribbons they were tying to the trees in their yard insupport of their son and other troops in Iraq.
"The ribbons started to disappear. Every time it disappeared, I wouldhang a new one," said Bob Saskowski, who tied the ribbons with hiswife, Alexis.
It went on for eight months. The last straw was when three ribbons disappeared in three days.
So Bob Saskowski appealed to his neighbors through a memo, asking themto talk to their teenagers about respect and patriotism and asked fortheir help.
"It indicated I needed their eyes to help them watch the trees," he said.
Neighbors responded by adding yellow ribbons to the trees in their yards.
"My husband and I were ticked," said neighbor Patty Kenyon. "And we alldecided if this person was going to pick on Bob, they can pick on allof us. And we literally put ribbons up and down the street."
The ribbons kept disappearing, but only from the Saskowski yard.
"We thought someone had a vengeance against us, personally, because noone else's ribbons in the neighborhood was disappearing," Saskowskisaid.
Finally, the couple set up a video camera, focused on the yard. Sixweeks later, they caught the culprit on tape. The ribbon was beingshimmied slowly down the trunk.
At the base, the squirrel pushing the ribbon, bit through the ribbon and took off with it.
"We can laugh now," Saskowski said. "Before, it was not funny."
He says the squirrel was actually a good thing.
"And I named him Patriot because he brought our neighborhood together," Saskowski said.
