WHEN SERVICE MEMBERS RETURNED FROM VIETNAM, THEY WERE CURSED AT AND SPIT UPON AND CALLED BABY KILLERS..., FAST FORWARD 45 YEARS AND THESE SAME SMELLY, LONG HAIRED, POT SMOKING HIPPIES ARE NOW HEADING INTO THE NURSING HOME PAID FOR BY THEIR MOST HATED ENEMY - THE US GOVERNMENT, THANKS TO MEDICARE! TO ME THIS IS PRETTY IRONIC! THE YOUNG TEENAGE HIPPY NOW TRANSFORMED INTO A NURSING HOME PATIENT WHOSE MONTHLY BILL IS BEING PAID FOR BY A FEDERAL MEDICAL PROGRAM FOR THE ELDERLY! YEAH, IT REALLY SUCKS TO BE AN AMERICAN, RIGHT, HIPPY??
AMERICA TODAY IS UNDER SIEGE BY THE REPUBLICAN RIGHT THAT CONTROLS THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. VOTED IN BY THE LOCAL HUCKABUCKS IN HOOTERVILLE, THEY REPRESENT THE LOCAL YOKELS BY VOTING IN LOCK STEP WITH THEIR PARTY BOSSES. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THESE BASTARDS HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MOVE THIS COUNTRY FORWARD! THE REPUBLICANS MUST BE DEFEATED AT THE POLLS IN ORDER TO GET A JOBS BILL PASSED THAT WILL ADDRESS INFRASTRUCTURE AND EDUCATION. TAX RATES ON THE WEALTHIEST SHOULD BE SET TO 1950'S AMERICA WHEN THE VERY RICH PAID VERY HIGH TAXES. WHY? BECAUSE, THEY CAN AFFORD TO!
THE REPUBLICANS BROUGHT WAR UPON THIS COUNTRY, LOOTED THE TREASURY BY ENRICHING THEIR CRONIES IN THE MILITARY, INDUSTRIAL, CORPORATE, POLICE STATE, PRISON CORPTOCRACY COMPLEX, AND CRASHED THE ECONOMY INTO A DEPRESSION THAT RIVALS THE 1930'S!THE LOOTERS AND SLICKERS OF WALL STREET FLEECED THE WEALTH OUT OF MIDDLE AMERICA WITH QUESTIONABLE INVESTMENTS, USURIOUS INTEREST RATES AND HIGH OIL PRICES. WE KNOW THEIR HISTORY, WE KNOW THEIR ACTIONS, WE KNOW THEIR FAILED POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. THEIR CONGRESS WON'T PUT FORTH A JOBS BILL LIKE THEY PROMISED TWO YEARS AGO AND THEY OFFER NO RELIEF TO STUDENTS SADDLED WITH STUDENT LOAN DEBT. THESE BASTARDS WANT THE STRONGEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT WITH HIGHER TAXES. THESE BASTARDS REFUSE TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT WITH HIGHER TAXES AND RUN NOTHING BUT DEFICITS IN THE ANNUAL BUDGET BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO RAISE TAXES.
THESE REPUBLICAN TRAITORS TO AMERICA DO THE BIDDING OF THE 1% - THE SUPER WEALTHY WHO CONTROL 90% OF THE WEALTH IN THIS COUNTRY. THESE TRAITORS DO THE BIDDING OF BIG BUSINESS AND THE CORPORATION BY SHIELDING THEM FROM PAYING A JUST AND FAIR TAX. THEY MEDDLE AND PLAY WITH RELIGION IN THEIR POLITICS. THE TRAITORS SELL OUT TO THE ANTI-ABORTION EVANGELICALS WHO ARE SUCH ZEALOUS RIGHT TO LIFERS, THEY WILL KILL ABORTION DOCTORS! SO MUCH FOR THE RIGHT TO LIFE!
THIS FOURTH OF JULY, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THESE TRAITORS TO AMERICA AND THEIR PERVERTED "CONSERVATIVE" VALUES. SO MUCH FOR, "FAMILY VALUES" BECAUSE THESE PHONEY-RAM-A FAST TALKING SLICKSTERS HAVE BEEN OUTED FOR THE SEXUAL PREDATORS THEY ARE WITH THEIR MULTIPLE AFFAIRS, ADULTERY, DIVORCE AND GAY SEX PLAY THEY IMBIBE IN! WHEN I HEAR THESE IDIOTS TALK ABOUT FAMILY VALUES I JUST WANT PUKE AT THEIR HYPOCRISY!
THE GREAT AMERICANS WHO PRECEDED US WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED AT THE VANITY, BANALITY AND SHALLOWNESS OF TODAY'S AMERICAN POLITICIAN - A VULTURE CLASS WHOM INSTEAD OF REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE'S INTEREST AND TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN SHILLS FOR THE SUPER RICH AND THE MONIED INTERESTS WHO CONTROL THE AGENDA. THESE BASTARD, TRAITORS TO AMERICA MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT AND DEFEATED AT THE POLLS!
Military Service Flag
The History of the Service Flag
The history of the Service Flag is as patriotic and touching as the symbolism each star represents to the families that display them.
The service flag (also known as "blue star banners" or "son in service flags") was designed and patented by World War I Army Captain Robert L. Queissner of the 5th Ohio Infantry who had two sons serving on the front line. The flag quickly became the unofficial symbol of a child in service. President Wilson became part of its history when in 1918 he approved a suggestion made by the Women's Committee of the Council of National Defenses that mothers who had lost a child serving in the war to wear a gold gilt star on the traditional black mourning arm band.
This led to the tradition to cover the blue star with a gold star on the Service flag to indicate that the service member has died or been killed.
The color of the stars is also symbolic in that the blue star represents hope and pride and the gold star represents sacrifice to the cause of liberty and freedom.
During World War II, the practice of displaying the service flag became much more widespread. In 1942, the Blue Star Mothers of America was founded as a veteran service organization and was part of a movement to provide care packages to military members serving overseas and also provide assistance to families who encountered hardships as a result of their son or husband serving during the war.
Virtually every home and organization displayed banners to indicate the number of members of the family or organization serving in the Armed Forces, and again, covered those blue stars with a gold star to represent each member that died.
In 1960, Congress chartered the Blue Star Mothers of America as a veterans service organization and in 1966, the Department of Defense revised the specifications for the design, manufacture and display of the Service Flag.
The Department of Defense specifies that family members authorized to display the flag include the wife, husband, mother, father, stepfather, parent through adoption, foster parents who stand or stood in loco parentis, children, stepchildren, children through adoption, brothers, sisters, half brothers and half sisters of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States. The flag should be displayed in a window of the residence of person who are members of the immediate family.
The Service Flag may also be displayed by an organization to honor the members of that organization serving in the Armed Forces during a period of war or hostilities.
How to Display the Service Flag
If the U.S. flag is also displayed with the Service Flag, the U.S. flag should be of equal or greater proportions and should take the place of honor above the Service Flag.
If a gold star is added to the Service Flag, it should take the position of honor and be placed over the blue star that is positioned closest to the staff.
The gold star should be smaller than the blue star to create a blue border surrounding the gold star.
Thank you for providing such great info and service. More power to you!
