Showing your support can be as simple or creative as you would like:

• Hang a blue ribbon or bow on a tree, mailbox, door, or storefront.
• Replace a porch light bulb with a blue bulb.
• String blue lights on a tree, shrub, window, or business display.
• Place a Thank A Cop sign or decal in your yard or window.
• Create your own blue display in the spirit of the celebration.
