Founding Organizations:

Blue Star Salute of Alabama is a concerted effort by local, state and national military, political, veteran and caring citizen groups and organizations and sets aside a day for particularly significant appreciation and honors for America’s military… (active, reserves and national guard), of all branches: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force and the historic US Merchant Marines. This includes a somber “Gold Star Salute” to those service members who have paid the ultimate price for America’s freedoms. Blue Star Salute also honors all those who are veterans of such military service and actively supports Alabama’s Veterans Homes.

Blue Star Salute Foundation appreciates very much the interest and support of Congressman Bachus and his staff for proclaiming publicly and collectively that "WE HONOR THOSE WHO SERVE"!
