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.
