Madison (WTNH) - A Blue Star flag waves in the air for courage and commitment as a special tribute to our nation's heroes.
Downtown Madison serves as the backdrop as proud parents admire the symbol for those who serve.
'We are just so excited to see a labor of love come true on behalf of all the kids who are in harms way right now,' said Bob Russell of Madison.
In the center of the flag, a blue star honors the work of their sons and daughters.
The star represents the sacrifices of those serving but also the support of those standing by at home.
"I'm thinking about a lot of the mothers and that's what that's all about," said Katy.
"It really brings home the pride that we fell for our kids," Debbie said.
"We are thinking of all of them, so we thank you," Katy.
Monday's parade kicks of at 10 a.m. in Madison.
Families in Madison are working on starting their own Blue Star Mothers Group. And right now they are gathering information from families in that area who have had loved ones serve between 1990 and the present."
