Blue Star means some member of the family in that house is serving on active duty in the military. Gold Star means that some member of the family in that house has died on active duty.

That is called a Service Flag. For each member of the family serving in the military,a star is added to the flag.

Well, if you are in Texas, it's pretty common. Being that Texas is called the "Lone Star State" five-pointed, three-dimensional stars are EVERYWHERE here. In other contexts it can be simply for decor or it can be a good luck or warding sign and dates back to old European superstitions and/or the Wiccan beliefs. It could be any number of things but those are the ones that come to mind.

Blue stars are for immediate family serving, gold is for one that was KIA. I've got a blue star and a candle that comes on everynight in my window at the moment.

Blue stars are for living family members in the service and gold ones are for ones killed.

I don't know what it means nowadays, but in World War II a gold star meant that the servicemember from that house had been killed. Thus came the phrase, "Gold-Star mothers."

A blue star or stars mean a loved one is away at war.
A gold star means a loved one was lost in war.
