The Blue Star Flag:
Back when soldiers were going to serve our country in WWII, a group of mothers hung these special flags in their windows. If they had one son, or loved one, serving, they had one blue star. For every son who was serving, the flag had a blue star for each one. If the flag had a gold star, that meant that the son had given his life for our country. Many mothers who have children serving today, also hang a Blue Star Flag in their windows.
The group of mothers who started this tradition, were called the Blue Star Mothers, and they are still an active organization today.
Enjoy and please share with families of soldiers today! Jan
May God Bless all our Soldiers who are fighting for our freedom.
