In that context, it correlates with 7patches comment about hostages (i.e., 1980) and released prisoners. A show of support for POWs doesn't bother me at all -- as far as I'm concerned, they could hang a POW/MIA flag next to the ribbons, if that was their intention, and that'd also be commendable.
However, these ribbons apparently have been there a couple of days, prior to the seizure of US POWs yesterday, so I'm dubious that these ribbons were in response to that event.

In any case, I only claim to be myself...
