An important question on everyones mind is 'what will be required of me'.... This is a support group to support the moms, the troops, troop families, and the veterans. How much can you do? You know best!! Every mom is important, every mom counts, and whatever each mom can do is all that CT Blue Star Mothers 'expects'.
The Blue Star Mothers
a poem by Roger J. Robicheau
Conceived by Captain George H. Maines
This group was formed and still sustains
Fine hearted women brought to stay
The Blue Star Mothers we love today
That year was nineteen forty-two
Tough battles raged so far from view
Their young were in the midst of war
Support was needed from their shore
Great mothers of our troops came through
And forged their path in World War II
Since then their vision has maintained
Proud patriots, how they've remained
Each Blue Star Mom is filled with love
They strive to spread so much hereof
To warm the heart where there is need
Accomplished works, superb indeed
In war and peace how strong they stand
God Bless each one throughout our land
