We are accepting names and addresses of soldiers currently serving, so they can receive their Stars. 100 Stars are sent to all currently serving. Veterans will receive 50 Stars to share. Add a message to your soldier.
Include your name and address and we will send you a bag of Stars to share.
E-mail confirmation of mailing will be sent.






Organizations that are sending packages overseas, please consider adding Stars to the packages. Let us know where your address, the number of packages you send, and we will locate a group that are making Stars in your area OR you can receive the  instructions for your own group to make them.






Want to participate by creating Stars in your neighborhood so you will be able to share the love of our country with those serving and those that served? Have a Star Party!!

This is a project for all ages. Let us know and we will e-mail the instructions and mail 2 packets of Stars, 2 cantons and the pouches that the Stars go into with the note, all for a donation of $8.

Stars For Our Troops

Welcomes you to find out more about how You and We can show support to those that have Served and those that Are Serving.






























We are a group of volunteers that are continuing what was started by a group of ladies in Florida called the Star Project about 2005. See "Star Project Begins"

Old tattered and faded US Flags are retired from service and we pass the legacy of their embroidered Stars to those that defended them.

We are cutting the fields of blue, known as the canton, from these old flags, then scissor off the embroidered stars.

Into a plastic bag go a star and an explanation:

"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 winds have caused me
to become tattered and torn.
Please carry me as a reminder that
You are not forgotten." 

Flags should be approximately 5 feet by 3 feet, so that the embroidered stars are about the size of half-dollars or smaller than a business card.

Collectors of flags in the Albany, NY area include: Gettysburg Flag Works, East Greenbush; Saratoga Flag, Gansevoort;  your local Kiwanis Club or to Advanced Hearing Aid Centers, Colonie. Remnants of flags will be properly retired as noted in Flag Etiquette.

Listen to what a Veteran felt when he entered into a discussion about Stars for our Troops.
Thank you  Bill Notro.
