NGC adopted the Blue Star Memorial Highways project in 1946. There are three types of memorials and all are a tribute to the men and women in the armed forces who have served, are presently serving and will serve in the future.

The large Blue Star Highway Memorials are placed only on dedicated highways. A second large memorial, minus the word "highway", was approved in 1996 for dedication at National Cemeteries or V. A. Medical Centers. The Blue Star Memorial By-Way marker, approved in 1994, is to be placed in parks, historic sites and civic areas. It bears the words "A Tribute to the Armed Forces of America".

Clubs and districts are urged to contribute by budgeting funds for the Blue Star Memorial Fund that has been established to assist clubs or districts needing financial assistance to purchase memorial markers.
