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

Another fine tradition, and good work. Thank You

Thank you for this design. I have a husband who is currently serving and my only son will be leaving for Basic Training in one month. I will stitch this on a shirt or tote and display it proudly.

Thank you to all who say prayers for all of our military members. I know those prayers help to keep them safe.

Thank you. My dear grandma had 4 of these in her window during WWII.
She also served on the Blue Star charity.

This is a wonderful design! My husband is currently serving in Kabul, I have already one hanging in my window for him, but this is great to put on a purse or tote to carry for his mother!
Thanks and God Bless our Soldiers!

Nice design, great tradition, Thank you

Thanks for the design--and the history lesson

Thank you very much.

We had these in our window for my 3 brothers in WWII.
One in the Army(survived the death march and captivity on Bataan).
One in the Navy and one in the SeaBees.

I love this - thank you! I made a flag and had it hanging while my ds was in the Air Force. I think it's a great tradition. I never thought an embroidery for totes and shirts!

Thank you so much for this design.
I want to make one to place @ church for our members that are serving. BTW-the dead-eye website is fascinating and so informative.

Thank you so much for this great Design from a Military Mom, This Design will be put to great use..
