 ¡LA VERDAD! | David Sanchez and Jeronimo Blanco VS the Brown Berets de Aztlán
As some of its members began wearing brown berets (berets were typical attire of militant formations during that time) they came to be "popularly" known as the Brown Berets, a name which became common, not only within the community, but even with the police as well.
Whatever the answer, David Sánchez was not to associate himself again with the Berets or the movement until he surfaced 20 years later demanding to speak at a march organized in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of August 29th Chicano Moratorium held in Los Angeles in 1990.
In 1972, Sánchez committed acts of treason by allowing the infiltration into the organization of the Brown Berets by federal agents; the recruiting of "instant" Berets, and the unauthorized occupation of Catalina Island and its subsequent surrender to the enemy which caused dissension and division amongst the organization which is demonstrated to this day.

Koizumi's governing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) allies are waving yellow handkerchiefs - especially in front of cameras - to show support for noncombat Japanese troops about to embark on their dangerous mission in what is still considered a combat zone.

Like America's yellow ribbons, Asahikawa's yellow handkerchiefs are meant to symbolize people's desire for the safe return of the troops.

One of the myths about the Yellow Kid is that Pulitzer and Hearst both claimed ownership of the Yellow Kid, the case went to court, and the decision resulted in a Yellow Kid comic in each newspaper.

The vision of a Swiss soldier marching off to a foreign civil war with a sidearm for his personal protection is a romantic caricature and an expression of crass ignorance of the realities.
