Flag History: The Blue Star Service Banner was designed by World War I Army Capt. Robert L. Queisser. Queisser’s two sons served on the front line. His banner quickly became the unofficial symbol for parents with a child in active military service. During World War II, the Department of War issued specifications on manufacture of the flag, as well as guidelines indicating when the service flag could be flown and by whom. Today, families display these banners when they have a loved one serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The blue star represents one family member serving, and a banner can have up to five stars. Blue Star Service Banners were widely used during both world wars, but were not embraced during the Korean or Vietnam wars with the same enthusiasm. Today, the Blue Star Service Banners are widely used by families who have a loved one serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
