General History

The Man in Service flag was used in both World War I and World War II. It is also known as the Blue Star Flag. Each family was entitled to hang a small Man In Service flag in their window to signify they had a family member in service. The flag was about a foot long and was hung vertically. The blue star was covered with a gold (actually yellow) star if the family member died in action.
