San Diego North County Blue Star Mothers is a support
group serving the San Diego area military and families. Our founding
mothers first came together in September 2005 and meet regularly to
share our worries, pride, and devotion to our children who are now serving
in every branch of the military. We are an official chapter of the Blue
Star Mothers of America, Inc., a group formed during World War II.
The Blue Star Mothers of America is a non-partisan, non-political, non-sectarian,
non-discriminatory and non-profit organization. We do not support any
political candidate, nor do we endorse any religious organization. The
military represents all aspects of America, as does our organization.
Our mission is to support through service:
Members and their sons and daughters who serve or have served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States of America
- United States military
personnel who serve or have served honorably and their families
- Veteran's organizations
- Causes that will benefit military
personnel
We hope that you will take the time to look through our web site. If you have a family member or friend in the military, we are here for you. If you are a proud American and want to do something to help, we are developing projects that will tell you how you can make a difference.
