Welcome to our Website!
We're Massachusetts Chapter 1 of the Blue
Star Mothers of America - Mothers who currently have or had children serving
in the U.S. Military. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 service organization,
chartered by the U.S. congress, supporting each other, our children, and
everyone who serves in our military while promoting patriotism. We welcome
fathers, family, and friends of our servicepeople as our associate
members.
FREE Workshop for teachers and youth workers!
In Massachusetts, we have over 12,000 children
living in military families as part of the National Guard, the
Active or Reserve Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. With ongoing
Military Overseas Contingency Operations drawing service members
away from home, many families are affected by deployments. To
help you learn how you can support the children in those
families, Massachusetts Operation Military Kids invites you to a
free workshop on Wednesday, May 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. For
more information, including how to register, click here.
New Pages Added to Blue Star Mothers' Chapter 1 Photo Gallery

month. You can go to the album pages by
title here, or by

Members can have a personal album of their own
for picture-sharing; for information, look up your password and
go to the members-only page.
We've just added a Recent
Highlights page and a Links page to this website. On
