Best Answer

It was a rectangular little flag, hung vertically. It was red and white, with a blue star in the center, if a person from that household was serving in the Armed Forces. They were available with one, two, three and more stars, depending on how many family members were serving. If a family member was killed in the service of his country, the star was changed from blue to gold, hence the name of the organization "Gold Star Mothers".
