SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND PRAY FOR THEIR SAFE RETURN.
More and more homes are displaying a blue star banner in their windows in honor of a son, daughter or spouse in the Military
Service. Gold stars represent those fallen in battle. This is a tradition started during WWII when nearly every household had someone in the Service.
