This is going to sound uninformed, but what does that flag with the single blue star signify? I've seen car window stickers like that in the PX where my husband is stationed, but I've no idea what it means.

The gold stars means they have someone who was killed in action.

That's a "Blue Star" flag. It means you have a family member servicing in the armed forces.
Two blue stars on the flag, two family members. A "Gold Star" flag means you've lost a family member in the service of our country.

It goes back to WW2. The Blue Star Flag is a service flag.

I only fly it out doors under the American Flag on National Holidays. (4th of July ect...) They are placed in windows of families that have someone serving. The ones with gold stars are families that lost a hero.
I got the flag from serviceflags.com They also have the magnets.

A blue star indicates that they have a family member serving in the miliary. The number of stars indicate how many members of the family are serving.
A gold star indicates KIA.
