Blue Star Mothers Scrapbooking Event 25 March 2011

I have to admit I never heard of
Blue Star Mothers
before I came across this event.
That just shows how poor our local media is.
Also, this is a national organization that is all about
supporting our troops past, present, and future.
It does not matter what religion or polictical view anybody has.
It just helps the troops where possible.
If you have seen flags in windows in people's homes
with 1, 2, or more stars
they come from this organization.
I have seen the flags,
but did not know where they came from until now.
Please check them out.
