I don't remember where I learned about Gold Star Mothers, but they are mentioned several times in the Turtledove alternate history series that begins with the Civil War.
I do remember that there were still houses with these flags in the windows when I was growing up in Tappan NY in the early 1950s, because I remember my father's explaining them to me. If I recall correctly, he said the flags were from WW II, and that there weren't many people displaying them because of their relatives' being in the Korean War. They were generally considered to mark the houses of WW II veterans (and decedents.)
