I am a part of our American Flag that has flown over the USA.
I can no longer fly.
The sun and wind caused me to become tattered and torn.
Please carry me as a reminder that
You are not forgotten.

Star Project
We have an ongoing project to recover the embroidered stars from our well used American flags of all sizes; store the bars and clippings from the blue field until the scheduled day that we honorably retire the colors.
The stars are provided to all Americans at different occasions.
Deployments, usually in coordination with the USO
Special events such as Military unit reunions
Beirut Memorial
Mother's Day, Father's Day at Mass
Upon request
Insert says:
A Rosary for you. It is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to help keep you from sin. Use it as an excellent form of prayer that will bring peace to your heart.
This star is a piece of our American Flag that has flown over the USA. It can no longer fly as the sun and wind has torn and tattered it.
Along with the Rosary, please carry them, the Star to remind you that you will never be forgotten, the Rosary that God is always with you.
Godspeed.
