Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S6798; text: CR S6794)
This Senate resolution designates the week of September 21-27, 2025, as "Gold Star Families Remembrance Week" to honor military families who have lost loved ones in service to the United States. The resolution builds on the existing Gold Star Mother's Day, which has been observed on the last Sunday of September since 1936, by expanding recognition to include all family members affected by military deaths. Gold Star families are those who have lost a family member who died while serving in the Armed Forces, with the gold star serving as a symbol of that ultimate sacrifice. The resolution encourages Americans to observe this week by performing community service and celebrating these families' sacrifices. The measure requires no funding and was agreed to by the Senate in September 2025.
