Mothers to the Blue Star Mothers and to the gold star

 

In the United States during time of conflict,the mothers had the habit of hanging in their windows a banner with a blue star ,When they have a son called up for the military service. . The number of stars was equal to the number of son serving the country.

 

 

 

However, when their son was killed, the mother withdrew the blue star to put a golden star.

So , I think of the suffering of this one. Three sons called up for the military service of which a death.

 

 

 

I have some questions for you !

They were handmade by mothers or it was something official?

And (That with two blue stars and gold), The chevron blue means something?

I wonder do they do it today?
