HISTORY We are mothers who now have, or have had, children honorably serving in the military. We are a non-profit (501[c]3) Veterans service organization supporting our military children while promoting patriotism. We serve because our children serve. The Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. is authorized by Title 36, Chapter 305 of the United States Code (36 USC 305);
Bartlesville Chapter- Tall Grass Prairie Blue Star Mothers OK. #19 Section 943, as of January 26, 1998.
The Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. is a non-partisan, non-political organization. We do not support any political candidate, nor do we endorse any religious organization. The military represents all aspects of America as does our organization.
Formed locally on Feb 9, 2008 We are the 19th chapter in the state of Oklahoma. We have 14 Mothers and continue to grow, we have associate members being fathers, family, friends, and volunteers. We serve the Washington County area. You will see us from time to time taking donations around town. If you see us, please stop and visit.
There are over 400 Blue Star Mother chapters across our nation and the numbers continue to grow as our children go off to war. Although our troops are being pulled from various areas, we are still at war, and we still have many units overseas, with many more continueing to deploy. Our military needs our support be it care packages or letters from home.
