SHELTON - Sutter-Terlizzi, American Legion Post 16 is purchasing Blue Star Service Banner window decals to recognize the many Shelton families who have members serving our country during this time of conflict.
Created in 1917, Blue Star Service Banners were a
common sight during WWI and WWII. Resurrected by the Legion in 2001, the
banner is displayed to show that a family member is currently serving
in the Armed Forces.
Post 16 is compiling a list of Shelton residents with immediate family presently serving in the military that wish to receive a Blue Star Banner. Service members’ families will also be given certificates of appreciation.
Families wishing a Blue Star Banner are asked to contact the post via e-mail Admin@sheltonpost16.org,
or at (203) 926-8952.
E-mail is the preferred method of contact.
Please provide the service
member's name, rank, their relation to the service member, branch of
service, their
name, address and phone number and e-mail address.
They will be
contacted via e-mail or phone for any additional information.
These decals and certificates of appreciation will be handed out during a brief ceremony at 1 p.m. May 11 at Sutter-Terlizzi American Legion Post 16, 295 Bridgeport
Ave.
