For our
Heroes
In December of 2008 the Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers, Colorado
Chapter 4, set up a mall display of Hero trees. As a service to the
local community they provided 'Blue Star' acrylic ornaments free of charge
to anyone in the community requesting one. The ornaments had the
military branch, rank, name and campaign along with an engraved photo of
the service member or veteran. The Blue Star Ornaments were hung on
the Hero Trees throughout the holiday season and then given to the
families that had submitted photos.
Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc was founded in 1942 when the mothers
of the troops saw a need to help out. It was congressionally
chartered in 1960 as a Veterans Service Organization.
The mission of the organization is support of the troops and veterans
and more information can be located at their national website.
