Over the past several weeks, we’ve received hundreds of thoughtful questions, comments, and messages about military family service stars, the Green Star Service Banner, and what the different symbols mean.

We realized there was a need for something simple, respectful, educational, and easy to share, something that could help answer many of the questions families and supporters have been asking.

So we took the time to carefully research, verify, and create this overview explaining the history, meaning, and differences between several military family recognition symbols and observances, while also helping clarify where Green Star fits within that tradition.

The Green Star Service Banner was created to bring visibility, recognition, and support to families left behind after a veteran dies by su***de, families who often carry profound grief quietly and invisibly.
Green Star recognition is currently proposed through H.R. 6022 and we need your support to help bring awareness and recognition to these families.

Please help us continue this mission by:
💚 Liking and sharing our page
💚 Sharing this graphic to help educate others
💚 Supporting H.R. 6022
💚 And if your family has a story, we invite you to share it with us

No family should feel invisible after losing a veteran they love.
