A resolution designating August 1, 2025, as "Gold Star Children's Day".
S. Res. 365 is a non-binding Senate resolution introduced in the 119th Congress designating August 1, 2025, as “Gold Star Children’s Day.” The resolution provides historical context for Gold Star recognition (dating back to World War I and evolving through Gold Star Mother’s Day, then Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, and Gold Star Spouses recognition) and emphasizes that thousands of children of fallen service members bear a lasting burden and deserve national recognition. The measure designates the specified date for this observance, honors the sacrifices of Gold Star children, and encourages the American people to observe the day in support of these children. As a resolution, it is ceremonial and does not create legal rights or require funding or regulatory actions.
