Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc.  - The organization originated in 1942, during World War II, after a coupon was published by the Flint News Advertiser soliciting mothers of military servicemen.  The positive response resulted in a gathering of women in Flint, Michigan at the Durant Hotel;  this gathering February 6th, 1942 became the first official meeting and establish Blue Star Mothers as a permanent organization in the Congressional Record. In June of 1960 the organization was officially chartered by Congress.  A Blue Star Moms unwavering love, appreciation and respect for our active duty military service men and women and veterans is manifested in all our good works.  Together, the abundance of our love is seen in every package, letter and card we send to our military personnel and veteran.
