Corsica Teen Creates Yellow Ribbons To Support Guardsmen

CORSICA, S.D. (AP) — A senior at Corsica-Stickney High School is creating wooden yellow ribbons to support local guardsmen serving overseas.

Carson Kostal came up with the idea for a senior project in which he was tasked with immersing himself in something he’s passionate about. Kostal wants to enlist in the military, but he’s unable to because of a hunting accident that left him visually impaired, so he decided to focus his project on the South Dakota National Guard members who were deployed this summer to Kuwait.

Of the 162 men and women who were deployed, Kostal knows 10 of them, including his older brother.

The Daily Republic ( ) reports Kostal has created dozens of ribbons and has collected more than $3,000 in donations to send care packages to those serving overseas.
