Blue Star Memorial
Blue Star Memorial Project
In 1946, the National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc. adopted a nationwide Blue Star Memorial Highway Program to be implemented as a living tribute to the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces of the United States. The program was subsequently endorsed by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC).
The name Blue Star was initiated during World War I. A flag with a blue star in the center was placed in the window to denote that a family member was serving in the Armed Forces.
The Blue Star Program expanded to include Blue Star Memorial Markers to honor all who serve in the Armed Forces, past, present and future.
A Blue Star Memorial Marker sponsored by the Garden Club of Cape Coral was dedicated on November 30, 2020. It is located in Four Mile Cove, Ecological Preserve, in the Veterans Memorial area.
A BIG THANK YOU to Frank and Sons Storage for storing and delivering the Marker to Eco Preserve. The City of Cape Coral Parks and Recreation installed the marker and was very helpful as we navigated through this process. We were happy to be a part of the City of Cape Coral’s 50th Anniversary. THANK YOU!!! We couldn’t have done it without you.
