American FlagWest Covina Blue Star Program

The City of West Covina honors its sons and daughters serving in the armed forces


USA West Covina Blue Star Program Logo Protecting Our FreedomBefore every West Covina City Council meeting a slide show of immediate family members of West Covina citizens and citizens of West Covina currently serving in the armed forces are honored. Their name and a photo (if available) are placed on a screen while the lights are dimmed to give the community a time to reflect, remember and support our local citizens who are fighting for America's freedom.

You too can support and encourage America's troops serving our freedom overseas by going the Defend America government web site. This government ran site allows citizens of America to write troops currently serving to thank them for their continued service. Give our troops the support they deserve.

Peter- Thanks for pointing that out. We usually sign the bottom so you know which member of the team added it, I just forgot.

There are three of us; Luis, Carolina, and Seth. This particular blog was written by Seth.

Thank you for the comment, and I hope you get a chance to send a message to the troops.

While I am not a supporter of this war I do support our troops. They are not the ones calling the shots. They are in place in the first place to follow the orders of their superiors in defense of the nation. It is unfortunate that the people who are in control of them at present are on a rampage. However, as I said I do have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for our troops who serve our country proudly. This is a great cause; I will be writing and thank you for sharing.
