With 2 sons deployed, Catherine Cunningham of Amherst wanted  support from other local Moms who had kids overseas but quickly realized  the closest local chapter of the Blue Stars Mother's Organization was  in Chautauqua County... so she started a new chapter for Erie and  Niagara counties.
The Blue Star Mother's Organization was started in 1942 in Flint,  Michigan by a few mothers' who were looking for support while their sons  were overseas.  Throughout the past years, the group has grown to  encompass other family members.  The group is known to collect items for  care packages to send to troops, hold meetings for emotional support  during deployment periods and ultimately, bring families together that  are dealing with relatives serving in war.
