A Star in the Window

We applaud our men and women who serve for freedom so gallantly. Our prayers, our admiration and gratitude are never-ending. Our hearts break each time a life falls in service to their country and to their families go our deepest sympathies and a prayer for God to sweetly bless them for their painful sacrifice of their loved one. May God bless and watch over one and all.



The "Sons in Service" flag was used during World War I and World War II. Each family was entitled to hang a small Son In Service flag in their window, the blue star in the center of the red-bordered white rectangle signified a family member in active service. The star was replaced (or covered) with a gold star if the family member died in action. The organization "Gold Star Mothers", women who had lost sons in the war became active in those years.

A Star in the Window

A man was walking along with his grandson when his grandson asked "Why do all these homes have stars in the windows?" The grandfather explained to the son what the star symbolized.

They walked along and every time they passed a home with a star in the window the boy would smile and clap his hands together. Then the boy pointed up to the sky and pointed to a star.

"Look," he said. "God must have given his son too!"

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"Yahshua, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen and amen."
