Saugus Garden Club Thanks Saugus The Saugus Garden Club dedicated the Blue Star Memorial Marker
to honor those who are serving, or who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
To everyone who contributed in any way to the Blue Star By-Way Monument,
the Saugus Garden Club thanks you all for your support and generosity.
The Blue Star Memorial Marker Program of the National Garden Clubs, Inc.
began in 1945 to honor the men and women serving in the Armed Forces
during World War II.The name was chosen for the star on flags displayed
in homes and businesses denoting a family member serving.
Garden clubs pictured a ribbon of living memorial plantings traversing
every state.The designation of Blue Star Highways was achieved
through petitions to the state legislatures and cooperation with the
Departments of Transportation. A uniform marker was designed to identify the Highways.
The Blue Star Memorial Program grew to extend across thousands of miles
throughout the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. All men and women who have served, are serving, or will serve
in the Armed Forces of the United States are included. The Saugus Garden Club will be responsible for maintaining and landscaping
the area around the site.Contributions to assist in funding the installation
and upkeep are welcome.
If you would like to be a part of this honor to the members of your families,
please call Randy-Sue Abber (781) 231- 0877 for more information.
