Honor your serving family members with this 16" tall x 8" wide two star service flag!

The tradition of the Service Banner dates back to World War I. Mothers of young soldiers stitched red, white, and blue banners to hang in their windows as a sign that a loved one had gone to fight in the war. The banner design was simple, a white flag with a red border and a single blue star for each family member in Service. One, two and three stars were common, but each flag could hold up to six stars. This tradition was later extended to the wives and families of service men serving during the war. This tradition encountered a huge resurgence in World War II and again during the Korean War. Even during Desert Storm some U.S. ships sent service flags to the families of everyone aboard.
