After World War II, an American movement was started to pay
tribute to the nation's armed forces, by designating various state
and national routes as Blue Star Memorial Highways. In 1945, the
National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc. approved the Blue Star
Memorial Highway Marker program. The Blue Star name comes from the
blue star in the service flag. The blue star was chosen to
symbolize the memorial because it was used during World War II on
flags and homes of families that had a son or daughter in the armed
forces.
Please be careful as you search that you do not destroy the
