A resolution designating August 1, 2024, as "Gold Star Children's Day".
This Senate resolution designates August 1, 2024, as "Gold Star Children’s Day" to honor children who lost a parent while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It specifically recognizes these children’s sacrifices, building on existing observances for Gold Star Mothers (since 1936) and Gold Star Spouses (since 2010). The resolution has no policy or funding changes - it simply designates a date for national recognition and encourages public observance. It does not create new laws or alter existing programs.
