A blue beret is a blue-colored beret used by various (usually special) military and other organizations. United Nations peacekeepers are often referred to as Blue Berets or Blue Helmets because of their light blue berets or helmets, this includes soldiers, police officers, and civilian personnel.[1] The blue helmet is used as the logo of United Nations Peacekeeping.
