Whereas thousands of men and women have laid down their lives to defend the liberty and soul of our Nation, and families of fallen members of the Armed Forces have lost their loved ones in service to our country; Whereas families of members of the Armed Forces demonstrate a different kind of heroism, supporting children and family members while loved ones are deployed, sacrificing holidays with members who are serving overseas, and facing each day knowing their loved one might be in danger and could never return home; Whereas, before the Iraq war, the United States had lost over 1,300,000 members of the Armed Forces during wartime, and, since October 2001, over 4,400 members of the Armed Forces have lost their lives serving this country, leaving thousands of family members behind; Whereas, in 2015, the Gold Star Fathers Act was signed into law to ensure Gold Star Fathers were eligible for the same benefits guaranteed to mothers of fallen or permanently disabled members of the Armed Forces, honoring their sacrifice and loss, but this legislation did not designate a Gold Star Father’s Day; Whereas, in 1936, Congress designated the last Sunday in September as Gold Star Mother’s Day; Whereas President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. designated September 25, 2022, as Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day, President Donald Trump designated September 24, 2017, as Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day, and President Barack Obama proclaimed September 25, 2016, as Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day; Whereas, on March 24, 2017, the Georgia House of Representatives adopted House Resolution 723, recognizing November 9 as Georgia Gold Star Father’s Day; Whereas Father’s Day honors and celebrates fatherhood and the unique bonds between a father and his children; and Whereas the goals of Gold Star Father’s Day on November 9 are to— (1) honor and celebrate fathers who have lost children in service to the United States; (2) honor fathers of fallen members of the Armed Forces and recognize that they, as parents, have experienced extraordinary and unimaginable loss; (3) recognize the need to support families of members of the Armed Forces throughout the United States; and (4) honor the courage of fathers who understand the true price of freedom and now face Father’s Day without their child or children: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress supports the designation of Gold Star Father’s Day .

Whereas the Constitution of the United States has prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude for many, but not all, people in the United States since December 6, 1865; Whereas the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which barred slavery and involuntary servitude, included an exception that allowed for slavery and involuntary servitude to continue as punishment for a crime; Whereas this exception resulted in hundreds of thousands of Black Americans being returned to slavery after implementation of the Thirteenth Amendment; Whereas Congress finds the continued existence of slavery and involuntary servitude antithetical to the democratic values, norms, and mores of the United States and can undermine the moral credibility of our country on the global stage; Whereas our criminal justice system has the means to ensure people who have committed crimes are appropriately sentenced without resorting to slavery or involuntary servitude; Whereas Congress recognizes the value of high-quality work programs that provide useful skills and stability for people in correctional institutions, and it is not the intent of Congress to interfere with opportunities for incarcerated people to consent to work or to modify any employment protections currently available to people in correctional institutions; and Whereas Congress additionally acknowledges the importance of sentencing alternatives, and it is not the purpose of this amendment to interfere with the discretion of a court to offer community service as an alternative to incarceration: Now, therefore, be it
