History of Our Flag

There is a proud tradition surrounding Service Star Banner flags dating back to WW I. Our Blue Star flag was designed in 1917 and is typically displayed through the window of the homes where a loved one is on active duty. The number of stars placed in the white field indicates the number of currently serving members. Should the person fall in the line of duty or die while in the service, a gold star replaces the blue. Display of the Service Banner is done during time of war and shows the pride of the family. It reminds all who see it that our national freedom is a cherished commodity demanding much from all those who proudly support and serve our country.
