A Blue Star Marker, the first in Klamath County on Highway 140 East and only the fifth such marker in the county, will be dedicated at 2 p.m. Saturday in Bly.

The markers, which are located on highways nationwide, are tributes to U.S. armed forces for defending the nation. Installation of the markers began after World War II by the national garden club.
