Alameda County Blue Star Moms

Welcome to the home of the Alameda County Blue Star Moms! Chapter CA23

I AM THE MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER

Alameda County Blue Star Moms, Chapter CA23, is a local San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of The Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. serving all Cities of the County of Alameda in the SF Bay Area of California. We are 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.

We are mothers who now have, or have had, children honorably serving in the military. We are a non-profit (501[c]3) service organization supporting each other and our children while promoting patriotism.

I'm A Blue Star Mom

We wear our hearts on our sleeves

You see the tears in our eyes

You know we are hurting

But you don't ask us why

We start each new day

With a prayer on our lips

That our babies are all safe

In the air, on the ground and in ships

We fly all our flags and

We wear all our pins

Waiting for the day

Our child soldier comes in

We have our bad days

At work and at home

Trying hard not to cry

Until we're alone

We think of them always

We pray they are safe

We dread that one phone call

The car and the wait

We are Mothers doing now

As Military Mothers have been

Pledging Allegiance to our Country

Our Armed Forces Women and Men

We want you to know

That it's no easy task

To let go of what you cared for

And know they might not last

So whenever you see us

Wearing our Ribbons and Blue Stars

Know that we are just waiting

For our Soldier, our baby, our heart.
