BLUE STAR - IN SERVICE BANNERS AND FLAGS |
The In Service Banner was designed in 1917 by WWI
Army Captain Robert Quessner, the service star banner is traditionally
hung in the window of the home of a person who has a family member
currently serving in the U.S. military. That person can be a son,
daughter, wife, husband, etc. The blue star represents one family
member currently in service; a gold star on a banner represents a family
member who was killed during service. Seeing these banners today
in windows of homes reminds every one of us that war is not something
that happens overseas on far-away lands, but is something that affects
every street and neighborhood in our country. Banners are 8" x 15"
with crossbar and gold cord tassel. Also available are 3'x 5'
flags.
