That’s NOT an Israeli flag, that’s a BLUE STAR banner in the window and a smaller pin version on her collar. It represents a son/daughter serving in the military during war. It was originally designed to be displayed when a son/daughter was in the war zone.

Each star stands for one member, ours hangs in our window and has for years while our son has been on multiple combat deployments in Iraq.

Now you know. NEVER FORGET and if you see someone wearing the Blue Star Banner pin, thank them and offer up a prayer for them to carry them through sleepless nights and anxious filled days until their loved one(s) return.

The Blue Star Banner is in the center of the window. The tiny Iraeli flag is in the lower left frame of the window.
