Mr. Wicker (for himself and Mr. Kelly) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Designating August 1, 2025, as “Gold Star Children’s Day”.
Whereas the recognition of Gold Star Families in the United States dates back to World War I, when the families of fallen members of the Armed Forces displayed a service flag with a gold star in the window of their homes; Whereas, in 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law legislation declaring Gold Star Mother’s Day, now known as “Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day”, a national observance honoring the mothers of fallen members of the Armed Forces annually on the last Sunday of September; Whereas, since 2010, the Senate has honored Gold Star Spouses by resolution annually on April 5, recognizing the unique sacrifices made by spouses of fallen members of the Armed Forces; Whereas many thousands of children of military families have lost parents who served in the Armed Forces and also deserve national recognition for the burden and legacy they carry; and Whereas, since 2021, the Senate has honored Gold Star Children by resolution annually on August 1, recognizing the debt of gratitude owed to children of fallen members of the Armed Forces by the people of the United States as part of the debt owed to the members of the Armed Forces who sacrificed all in protecting the freedom of the United States and the people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) designates August 1, 2025, as “Gold Star Children’s Day”;
(2) honors the sacrifices and hardships of the children of fallen members of the Armed Forces; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe Gold Star Children’s Day in support of children of the fallen members of the Armed Forces of the United States. <all>
