This is a slice of local history with ample parking. It will be a short walk to ground zero over level terrain. This is a marker that commemorates this Blue Star highway in Nebraska. Below is some information from Wikipedia about the Blue Star highways, but oddly enough, there is not a mention of any such highways being in Nebraska.
Blue Star Memorial Highways are highways in the United States that are marked to pay tribute to the U.S. armed forces. The National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc., started the program in 1945 after World War II. The blue star was used on service flags to denote a servicemember fighting in the war. The program has since been expanded to include Memorial Markers and Memorial By-ways (since 1994). These markers are used in National Cemeteries, parks, veterans facilities, and gardens.
Take a moment to learn something, pay respect to those servicemen who pay for your freedoms, stretch your legs, and find a cache. Please respect the area, CITO if needed, practice stealth as warranted, replace the cache as you find it, and please post no hints or spoilers. Thank you and good luck.
