- History of the
Blue Star Banner -
The Blue Star Flag was designed and patented
in 1917 by Robert L. Queissner of the 5th Ohio Infantry, who had two
sons serving in the military. It quickly became the unofficial
symbol of a child in the service of his country.
The Blue Star Flag is an 7 by 16-inch white field with a blue star(s)
banner. Today Blue Star Flags are displayed by families who are
serving in the armed forces, including activated members of the
Reserves, whether the family member is a son, daughter, brother,
husband, cousin, grandchild, etc. The flag displayed in the front
will show a family’s pride in their loved one serving in the
military and that preserving America’s freedom demands much.
One blue star represents ‘one’ family member is serving in the armed
forces and goes up to five stars, signifying that five members are
serving their country
