3'x5' Poly 1-Star (blue) Service Flag, header & grommets
This standard is displayed by immediate family members of a person
serving in the Armed Forces during a period of war. It may be flown as a
traditional flag with canvas heading and grommets beneath the US flag on a
flagpole although it is more commonly seen as a bannerette hung in a home
or in a window.
The flag was designed by Capt. R.L. Queisser and copyrighted in 1917. The
copyright has since passed to the US Dept. of Defense.
Organizations and businesses may also display the Service Flag if they
have members serving in the Armed Forces. The family member who is in
the service does not need to be stationed
overseas in order for his or her family to display the Service Flag.
Each star indicates one family member serving in the Armed Forces of
the United States. If multiple stars are shown, a gold star takes the
place of honor nearest the staff The blue star represents one family
member serving in the Armed Forces. The blue star is covered or replaced
with a gold star to indicate that the family member was killed or died
during the war or period of hostilities. Flagline.com has been authorized
