Why the stamp was issued: To cover the presorted standard mail rate and continue the tradition of definitive stamps with patriotic designs.
About the stamp design: Pictures a brightly colored graphic design of a blue star with red and white stripes radiating out of it. The star includes two shades of blue to give it the illusion of three dimensions. Designed by Carol Beehler.
First Day City: The stamp had no “headquarters” First Day of Issue Ceremony. The First Day of Issue Postmark was from Star, Idaho.
History the stamp represents: Whenever America has gone to war, those who remain on the home front have always supported them. Whether it be through monetary donations, care packages, the making of quilts, or other methods, we step up in many ways to aid our troops. The families of soldiers do their best to carry on while their loved ones are away, too. One tradition some follow is hanging a Blue Star Service Banner in a window of their home.
The first Blue Star Service Banner was created in 1917 by World War I Army Captain Robert L. Queisser. It consisted of a blue star on a white field surrounded by a thick red border. The idea caught on with other families, and by World War II, the Department of War issued official guidelines for the banners, including their production and display. Today, Blue Star Service Banners measure 8.5” by 14” and include one blue star for each family member in service. If the soldier dies in action, a gold star is placed over the blue star, leaving a border of blue showing through.
Blue Star Service Banners were not displayed much during the Vietnam and Korean Wars. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the American Legion led the charge in renewing the tradition. The banner is a reminder that families of soldiers are making honorable sacrifices for their country, too.
