Note: the American Legion site went away into the ether of the internet has been.
I have captured the remaining parts of it that were still active in a cached file on the internet. Namely, where you can purchase Blue Star Banner stuff. I have also saved the Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The are in my download directory with the 81/2"x11" and 81/2"x14" PDF files for your use.
A Blue Star Service Banner displayed in the window of a home is a tradition in America. The Banner lets others know that someone in this home is serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. As citizens steel themselves for the long and difficult "War on Terrorism" the Blue Star Service Banner tradition reminds us all that this new war touches every neighborhood in our land. The American Legion also has available a Blue Star Banner Corporate Flag for government and corporate America to show their support for employees called to active duty with their Reserve or National Guard units in the war against terrorism. This is different from the 1926 War Mothers Flag hoisted every Veterans Day at 11 minutes after 11 o'clock and flies beneath the National Colors until sundown to commemorate the millions of Americans who died during World Wars I and II.
