What does your ribbon stand for?

I was so happy to be able to buy 2 ribbons this morning! But I was wondering, what does everyone's ribbon stand for? It would be nice, if we could select which cause we want to represent when we buy the ribbon, but it doesn't give us the option.... so, if it's not too personal, what does your ribbon stand for? Which cause do support?

my 2 ribbons are:

lavendar, gynelogical cancer, something I suffered through as a teenager
yellow, military support, in honor of my dad, a retired Lt. Col who has served our country many times.

My yellow one is military support cause you gotta love the men and women who fight for our freedom (even if we dont agree with the reason for the war)

And the USA ribbon is for the men and women who died on 911.

Mine is for the adoptee part mostly (cuz I am one) but also for child abuse because my future nephews have a dead beat mother. Plus, child abuse happens way too often.

My two ribbons are
burgendy which means Cesarean Sections - Headaches - Hospice Care - Multiple Myeloma ~ and I got this one because I get really bad headaches and for the last weeks of my paps life he was on hospice

dark blue which means Arthritis - Child Abuse - Colon Cancer - Colorectal Cancer - Dystonia - Education - Free Speech - Interstitial Cystitis - ME/CFIDS - Reye's Syndrome - Save the Music - Teens Against Smoking - Victim's Rights - Water Quality ~ and I got this one for colon cancer because my dad was diagnosed with it about 5 or so years ago and had 2 mahjor surgerys to get rid of it, and also my pap died from colon cancer. And also for child abuse because no child should be abused in any way !!!!!

This is an example of one.

I've also seen white w/ black paws that says I adopted my Cat or I adopted my Dog.

They're really cute.

of the things that the ribbons represent:
Yellow is for our troops, cause like Brandi said, even if we don't support the actual war, we have to support our troops!
Black- for melanoma, of which my Grandma died of almost 17 years ago
Blue- Pro Choice
Orange- Cultural diversity, and even though I'm sure its not Feline leukemia, leukemia was one of the choices

I have yellow for our troops, and red and yellow for hepatitis C, which one of my (favorite, but I'm not supposed to admit it) students, an extremely brave and very young man, is suffering from.

my grandma is suffering from Alzheimer's too. But oddly, it has made her nice, instead of the mean hateful person that raised my father, and now, finally at age 57 my dad is able to have some semblance of a relationship with his mother.....

Does she know who he is? My Grandma doesn't have a clue. But she goes out shopping all the time (she never leaves the home) I've found that if I don't laugh about it, I'll have a breakdown
