- Large Blue Star Patriotic Flag.
- Size: 3' x 5' Dyed Nyl-Glo flag with one star.
- This standard is displayed by immediate family members of a person serving in the Armed Forces during a period of war.
- Material: SolarMax Nylon
- It may be flown as a traditional flag with canvas heading and grommets beneath the US flag on a flagpole although it is more commonly seen as a bannerette hung in a home or in a window.
- The flag was designed by Capt. R.L. Queisser and copyrighted in 1917. The copyright has since passed to the US Dept. of Defense.
- Organizations and businesses may also display the Service Flag if they have members serving in the Armed Forces.
- The family member who is in the service does not need to be stationed overseas in order for his or her family to display the Service Flag.
- Each star indicates one family member serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.
- If multiple stars are shown, a gold star takes the place of honor nearest the staff. The blue star represents one family member serving in the Armed Forces.
- The blue star is covered or replaced with a gold star to indicate that the family member was killed or died during the war or period of hostilities.
