SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Gold Star Family Sup-
port and Installation Access Act of 2017’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Since World War I, the gold star symbol 
has been used by American families to honor mem-
bers of the Armed Forces who have given their lives 
in service to the Nation. 
(2) Surviving families of deceased members of 
the Armed Forces confront many challenges, often 
made worse by policies that fail to compassionately 
honor the memory of their loved one’s service and 
sacrifice to the Nation. 
(3) There is an obligation to ensure that the 
Gold Star family connections to the military commu-
nity remain an eternal bond providing strength and 
comfort to surviving family members and to those 
still serving. 
(4) Individual military services have recognized 
the need to provide installation access to Gold Star 
families to attend memorial events, visit gravesites,
