A resolution designating April 5, 2025, as "Gold Star Wives Day".

Senate Resolution 176 would designate April 5, 2025, as Gold Star Wives Day. This is a non-binding resolution, meaning it does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a congressional tribute to recognize and honor the spouses of military service members who died in service to the United States.

Gold Star Wives are women whose husbands were killed in military operations or conflicts. This designation would acknowledge their sacrifices and contributions to the nation. As a commemorative resolution, enacting it would establish an official day of recognition but would not create any new programs, benefits, or legal requirements. The practical impact would be primarily symbolic, raising awareness about the experiences of military spouses who have lost their loved ones in service.
