The Stars For Our Troops project takes your worn, used American Flags and turns them into a prized possession for our Armed Forces & Veterans.
This project is a wonderful opportunity to bring your community together to share in the making of these packets for our Troops and Veterans."I am part of our American flag that has flown over a home in the U.S.A. I can no longer fly. The sun and wind have caused me to become tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that You are remembered."
Your worn American flag is now able to touch the lives of Troops & Veterans even after it has reached the end of its flying days.

Frequently Asked Question: Is it correct to cut the flag? Don’t we consider it a “living” flag?
We use old flags that would be retired and burned. Flag Etiquette experts advise us that one may respectfully in this way cut the flag. We are doing a transplant of the love and respect that the flag represents. We are giving our Troops and Veterans special recognition for what they are doing or have done for our country.
The event went very well today at the Florida VA Hospital. We provided many veterans with the Stars for Troops…each one is so very touched by this. We thank you.

Just wanted to share with you, I was blessed last night and was able to give out one of the stars you sent me. I gave it to a Hero who is suffering from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) after being overseas. He has trouble just being out and around anyone and for him to come visit was a huge step in the right direction for him. He read the Star Packet then looked up at me with tears and a smile and Thanked me, then put it in his pocket. Before he left he thanked me several more times and told me that it meant a lot to him. What a blessing, I wanted to share it with you as well. Thank You.
