The Blue Star Service Banner is a Flag measuring aprox 16" long by 8" wide. There is a blue star in the center of a white back ground and a red border. The blue star represents 1 child, 2 stars is 2 children and so on. If you lost your child in a war a gold star just slightly smaller is placed atop the blue star.

This is really something, I have never heard of it before. I bet there are many mothers who have never heard of it.

 

Think I'll have to get a banner and one for the car too.

I post in hopes that others will pass this information on to those that have a child in the military now or had a child in the military and those that have lost a child to war.

 

I think a great gift would be to purchase a membership for a Mother of a solider.

 

I sure wish everyone would read it. *sigh*

 

Please pass this information on to everyone you know.

This came through my email, and I haven't searched for a news article to authenticate it, but it wouldn't surprise me since Mrs. Clinton was totally inaccessible to reporters on comments about the war.

 

"Gold Star Mothers is an organization made up of women whose sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States armed forces. Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington, DC, to discuss various concerns with their elected representatives.

 

According to published reports, there was only one politician who refused to meet with these ladies. Can you guess which politician that might be?

 

Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them. Try again. Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything but contempt for our military?

 

Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's husband once wrote of his loathing for the military? Now you're getting warm! You got it! None other than the Queen herself, Hillary Rotten Clinton. She refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers.

 

Now, please don't tell me you're surprised. This woman wants to be President of the United States --- and there is a huge percentage of Voters who are eager to help her achieve that goal. May you sleep in peace always..and please...hug or thank a Veteran for that privilege. Think about this one !!!

 

Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York Senator, now comes under this fancy congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan. It's common knowledge that, in order for her to establish NYS residency, they purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale Chappaqua, NY. Makes sense.

 

Now, they are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still

makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. The mortgage payments hover at about $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residency had to be built within the acreage in order to house the Secret Service agents. The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent for the use of said Secret Service residence and that rent is just about equal to

their mortgage payment, .meaning that we, the tax payers, are paying the Clinton's mortgage, their transportation, their safety and security, their 12 man staff, and it's all perfectly legal."

Wow, Mare, wonder if a person would be allowed to have this printed in the local news paper. It might open some eyes around the place.

 

We need to remember too, that it was Mr. Clinton that didn't serve in the military. If I remember rightly, he left the country so he wouldn't have to serve.

 

I know that the politicians get a retirement and all, but to have to pay for their rent and morgages and all. Just doesn't go down well.
