Whereas there is no date dedicated to families affected by the 
loss of a loved one who died in service to the United 
States; 
Whereas a gold star symbolizes a family member who died in 
the line of duty while serving in the Armed Forces; 
Whereas the members and veterans of the Armed Forces, 
through their service, bear the burden of protecting the 
freedom of the people of the United States; 
Whereas the selfless example of the service of the members 
and veterans of the Armed Forces, as well as the sac-
rifices made by the families of those individuals, inspires 
all individuals in the United States to sacrifice and work 
diligently for the good of United States; and 
Whereas the sacrifices of the families of the fallen members 
of the Armed Forces and the families of veterans of the 
Armed Forces should never be forgotten: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Gold Star 
Families Remembrance Week’’; 
(2) honors and recognizes the sacrifices made 
by the families of members of the Armed Forces who 
have made the ultimate sacrifice in order to defend 
freedom and protect the United States and by the 
families of veterans of the Armed Forces; and 
(3) encourages the people of the United States 
to observe Gold Star Families Remembrance Week
