It meant you had a son who had died in the service. You could buy little banners, red and white, with big blue stars on them, to hang in the front window of your house. There were banners available with one, two three, four or more stars. You got a banner with a blue star for every member of the household who was away in the service. If one (or more) of them died you got a banner with gold stars for them.
There is still an active organization, the National Association of Gold Star Mothers.
