The service lapel pin may be worn by members of the immediate family of a person serving in the Armed Forces of the United States during any period of war or hostilities in which the Armed Forces of the United States may be engaged, for the duration of such period of war or hostilities.
The blue star of the service lapel pin shall signify that one or more members are serving in the Armed Forces during conditions listed above. Multiple blue stars are not authorized (per Department of Defense regulations)

Yes, I know what the service lapel pin is and what it represents.
I had originally posted that what I thought I saw as her lapel pin was an Israeli flag - rectagular in shape; white background; blue star in middle; blue horizontal stripes above and below. A couple of people then responded that it was the service lapel pin. I replied that could have been (and probably was - my eyes get worse every year) but I posted the same photo you did and noted that it had a red border.
