A resolution designating the week of September 21 through September 27, 2025, as "Gold Star Families Remembrance Week".
Summary
S.Res. 415 proposes to officially designate the week of September 21 through September 27, 2025, as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week. This resolution aims to recognize and honor Gold Star families—those who have lost a family member in military service. The designation would serve as a national acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by these families and provide a designated time for Americans to remember and pay tribute to those who died while serving in the armed forces.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it functions as a congressional expression of recognition and respect. The resolution was introduced by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith and passed the Senate by unanimous consent on September 19, 2025. While this designation has no direct regulatory or financial impact on citizens, it represents an official congressional tribute to military families and encourages public awareness and remembrance during that week.
