This resolution designates February 1st as "Blue Star Mother's Day" to honor mothers of active military service members. Blue Star Mothers of America is a patriotic organization founded in 1942 with over 198 chapters nationwide that support military families through care packages, veteran assistance, and community support. The resolution recognizes the sacrifices these mothers make and the important work they do supporting service members deployed overseas, wounded warriors, and veterans. The measure carries no funding or budgetary impact, as it is a symbolic resolution encouraging Americans to observe the day and support local Blue Star Mothers chapters. The designation marks the 84th anniversary of the organization's first meeting, which took place on February 1, 1942.
