| Added September 11th, 2007: On this, the sixth anniversary of the tragic attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, as well as the foiled terrorist plot aboard United flight number 93, we mournfully and respectfully remember
the deaths of those 2,973 Americans who perished on that fateful day. The events of 9/11 are familiar to all Americans. Perhaps so much
so that over time we have become desensitized to the actual events.
We pledge to Never Forget! |

The Japanese air raid of December 7, 1941 on Pearl Harbor resulted in the deaths of 2,117 Americans.

fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

We remember also the now over 32,977 troops who have been wounded. Of them, 15,010 could not return to duty. Many have sustained
permanent debilitating injuries. We pray for them and we pray for their families and caregivers.

BLUE STAR SERVICE BANNER |

From: Tom Ruley
Founder and President
National Remember Our Troops Campaign, Inc.
At times like this, while the Global War On Terrorism continues, and we sit safely out of harm's way in our own homes, we realize that
thousands of miles away, men and women in uniform stand ready to die in order to protect our freedom and to establish and/or protect
the freedom of others.
We recognize that members of the U.S. armed forces have millions of parents, spouses, children and other loved ones back home, who go
to bed every night praying for their safe return. In a manner of speaking, you could say that for every single brave young trooper
serving, there are other family members back home who are serving, and sacrificing, with them.
We also recognize that a soldier, sailor, marine, airman or guardsman does not need to be stationed on the front lines to contribute
to the war effort.
Our Mission, is to:
1. "Give Away" over two million "Blue Star Service Banners" to the families of our "active duty service" military
personnel.
2. We view this with the utmost importance. In the case of the death of an active duty military service member, we consider it
as our honor and duty, to see that a surviving loved one receives a "Gold Star Service Banner". We try to make these presentations
personally when possible.
3. Based on our ability to do so, we work to contribute to the relief of distressed military service members, military service
veterans especially the severely wounded, their immediate families, and the immediate family members of military personnel who have
died.

About the Service Banner
- While not widely known, a Blue Star Service Banner displayed in the window of a home is a long standing tradition in America dating
back to World War I.
- Department of Defense regulations only permit displaying this banner during a period of war or hostilities.
- The Service Banner is 8 by 16 inches in size.
- It lets others know that someone in the home is serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
- A Service Banner can contain up to five stars.
- Each blue star represents one family member serving as an active duty service member.
- If the individual symbolized is killed or dies while serving, for reasons other than dishonorable, the star representing that
individual will have superimposed on it a gold star of smaller size so that the blue forms a border.
- On banners displaying multiple stars, including gold stars, the gold star(s) will be above the blue star(s) in a place of honor
nearest the staff.
- Being killed in action, KIA, is not a requirement for a gold star. It is only required that the service member died while on
active duty.
- There is no requirement that a service member is or was stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere overseas to qualify.
Please remember our troops and their families and try to do something,... anything... to honor their
service and sacrifice.
