Blue Star Mothers
We are Mothers that have Children who are serving or have served
in the Military. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) service organization
supporting each other, our children, and our veterans while
promoting patriotism. Our national history dates back to WW1
with mothers packing care packages for our troops, visiting the
wounded in hospitals, and assisting with Homeland Security.
Mission
Wisconsin's Mission for our Chapter follows closely to that of our fore founders. We support each other, our veterans, pack care packages for our troops, welcome home our sons and daughters who have been deployed, and provide comfort to those families who have lost a child while fighting for our country.

Our organization is open to all Military moms.
Annual membership dues are $30.00 which is used to support our cause, locally and nationally.
Fathers, siblings, spouses and other family members may become Associate Members at no charge.
The only requirement is the desire to support our military families!
We meet the 3rd Tuesday of each Month.

About Gold Star Mothers
American Gold Star Mothers Inc
Who Is a Gold Star Mother?
Often the question has been asked, "Who is a Gold Star Mother?" During the early days of World War I, a Blue Star was used to represent each person, man or woman in the Military Service of the United States. As the war progressed and men were killed in combat, others wounded and died of their wounds or disease, there came about the accepted usage of the Gold Star.
This Gold Star was substituted and superimposed upon the Blue Star in such a manner as to entirely cover it. The idea of the Gold Star was that the honor and glory accorded the person for his supreme sacrifice in offering for his country, the last full measure of devotion and pride of the family in this sacrifice, rather than the sense of personal loss which would be represented by the mourning symbols.
The last Sunday in September has been designated as Gold Star Mother’s Day.
To receive a Gold Star Banner please contact: president.wi2@bluestarmothers.us and our Gold Star Mother Coordinator will contact you
