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.
