Dear Mr. President
One of the Sunday School classes in the First United Methodist
Church, St. Joseph, Missouri voted on Friday evening January 16, 1981
to decorate our church outside with yellow ribbons and furnish
the small yellow ribbon to each member this Sunday morning
to wear for the release of the hostages.
Our minister announced the successful release of the hostages
during our morning worship and our congregation stood and
sang "Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow" followed by
a prayer of the thanksgiving for our hostages, their families and
you - Mr. President.
Thank you for the peaceful ending of a hard job well done.
SincerelyLexicon
