Backs naming November 9 each year Gold Star Father's Day, for fathers of fallen troops — no new rules or benefits.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution sets no new rules and spends no money. Congress would back naming November 9 of each year Gold Star Father's Day. The day would honor fathers whose sons or daughters died serving in the armed forces. The resolution notes that Gold Star Mother's Day has existed since 1936. A 2015 law made Gold Star fathers eligible for the same benefits as mothers. That law did not create a day for them. Georgia and Tennessee already mark November 9 each year. Mississippi marked it in 2025.
Congressional Summary
