WHAT COLOR OF STAR IN World War 2 MEANT MISSING IN ACTION?

During World War II, a blue star was used to signify that a service member was missing in action. Families would display a blue star banner in their Windows to indicate that a loved one was serving in the military and was unaccounted for. This practice was part of a broader tradition of using colored stars to represent the status of service members, with gold stars representing those who had died in service.
