JOINT RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of Gold Star Mothers Day.
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers have suffered the supreme sacrifice of
motherhood by losing sons and daughters who served in the Armed Forces,
and thus perpetuate the memory of all whose lives were sacrificed in our
wars;
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers assist veterans of the Armed Forces and
their dependents in the presentation of claims to the Veterans'
Administration, and aid the men and women who served and died or were
wounded or incapacitated during hostilities;
Whereas the services rendered to the United States by the mothers of America
have strengthened and inspired our Nation throughout our history;
Whereas we honor ourselves and the mothers of America when we revere and
emphasize the role of the home and the family as the true foundations of
our Nation;
Whereas by doing so much for the home, the American mother is a source of moral
and spiritual guidance for the people of the United States and thus acts
as a positive force to promote good government and peace among all
mankind; and
Whereas September 25, 2005, is being recognized as Gold Star Mothers Day: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Gold Star Mothers Day;
and
(2) requests that the President issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such
day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
