Our History / Our Banner

Sacramento Blue Star Moms Chapter #7 was chartered by Blue Star Mothers of America on November 18, 2005. We have grown by leaps and bounds over the last 4 years. All families and friends of the military are invited to join us. We strive to have something that appeals to everyone--we hope that you will join us.
