CONNECTING
MILITARY FAMILIES
TO THEIR COMMUNITIES
During Blue Star Welcome Week and all year round, let us give military families a sense of belonging.
BLUE STAR WELCOME WEEK
Do Your Part
Every year, 600,000 military families move, representing about one-third of our All-Volunteer Force. Most of these families move to a new duty station, while some enter service and others transition out of the military.
That’s why Blue Star Families is designating September 27 — October 5, 2025, as Blue Star Welcome Week! We designed this special week to ease transition challenges and support military families with opportunities and events that will help them make meaningful connections in their new community. Do your part and join us for this impactful week!
