What is Silver Star Service Banner Day?
On Silver Star Service Banner Day, every May 1st, Americans commemorate the sacrifices of the combat wounded, sick, and dying service members. In addition, the day honors service members who have been awarded the Silver Star Medal.
The Silver Star Service Banner and Flag honors Silver Star families for their service and gallantry across all branches of The United States military. The observance, which takes place on May 1st, encourages us to celebrate military veterans and their families around the country.
1/10th of those who serve in the US military suffer a serious injury. The bulk of those injuries are combat-related. Veterans of our country suffer with those injuries for the remainder of their lives. The injuries are often a constant reminder of sacrifices during war or conflict..
