The design of the Blue Star Mothers Blossom recalls the red-bordered US Service Flag, first used in WWI, which features 1 blue star for each child in service during a time of war.
Volunteering with pride “in our children and our country” Blue Star Mothers of America
has provided support for veterans, active-duty personnel and their families since WW2.
This blossom can be made with an EGA stamped leaf for USMC MoMs*, or a plain leaf for mothers* of other branch members. It is available with a 9" wire stem or a pin back. Simply indicate your preferences when you order.
The Blue Star Mothers Blossom has not been endorsed by any Blue Star Mothers chapter. It is strictly my nod to a very worthy group and the flag it was named for.
