:: ''Not to be confused with [[Blue Star Mothers of America]] 
'''National Blue Star Mothers of America''' was part of the [[Mothers' Movement]] led by [[Catherine V. Brown]] of [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]. The group obtained its name in March 1943. Previously the group was called [[Crusading Mothers of Pennsylvania]] after it broke away from another group in May 1941 known as the [[Mothers and Daughters of Pennsylvania]]. In 1945 after the war’s end the group renamed itself the '''Current Events Club'''.<ref>''Women of the Far Right: The Mothers' Movement and World War II'', By Glen Jeansonne, page 121</ref> The Club stayed active thru the 1950s. 

They issued a newsletter titled ''[[The Cradle of Liberty]]''. 

On April 27, 1949, the [[United States Attorney General]] officially listed the National Blue Star Mothers as [[fascist]] and [[subversive]].
