Blue Star mothers could then find each other and support each other through difficult times. 


While any student is welcome to become a Blue Star Lancer, only students who have a parent/stepparent who is currently serving our country as a member of our armed forces (National Guard, Reserves or active duty) can be a Purple Star Lancer.  Why purple stars?
