Blue Star & Gold Star Memorials
Blue Star and Gold Star memorial markers honor members of the U.S. Armed Forces, an ongoing project of National Garden Clubs, Inc., that dates back to the 1940's. There are now nine Blue Star Memorial markers in Delaware, including one at the Memorial Garden for Families of the Fallen at Dover Air Force Base, the U.S. destination for fallen service members returning home to their grieving families.
