The "Service Flag", also known as the "Blue Star Banner" or the "Son In Service
Flag" was designed by World War I Captain Robert L. Quessner of the 5th Ohio
Infantry as a symbol of a child in the service. It became much more widespread
during World War II and evolved into a more general symbol of an immediate
family member in the service. There is also a tradition of covering the blue star with a smaller one of gold to denote the loss of a member. |
