Thank you

I never could understand why we don't have a service Flag for the wounded.

Waiting for legislation is a practice in patience that I never had.

god bless

Thank You, I was there last year at this time and one really neat thing that was done for me, was one of my friends would buy material with flags the size of bandannas and then she would have people sign them. I would pick up the Wounded Warrior at the flight-line and I would hand out the flags. It was really a neat, light gift and they really liked them. I will send a pic. when I get there, for now just agree with me that everything fall into place, because I really love serving our Heroes........

Awesome Flag Steve!! We too here at Blue Stars for a Safe Return are doing something different in support of our troops, our veterans, and our still POW/MIA's. But we too remember our wounded in our prayers, as well as their families. We created a Veterans emblem, because we realized that the Veterans had no official emblem of their own. We have been trying to figure out how to incorporate something into our displays too that would signify something for the wounded. That is still a work in progress, so I am glad to see that we are not alone in trying to remember our wounded soldiers.
What you have done is simply awesome. I Know the work and efforts you have put into this will be rewarded. I will having my webmaster add your site to our list of useful websites on our site in the next few days.
We did ours because we wanted to offer people the opportunity to display something, whether family or freinds, without government stipulations. They may not have an "official" government label, but they are officially available for anyone to display to honor our troops.
I say....GOOD JOB!!! For moving forward with your goal, without waiting for the "red tape".
Always keep moving forward, and never look back, you are heading in the right direction, and on the right path.
We Salute you all!!!!
