families of members and veterans of the Armed Forces of the
United States who gave their lives to defend freedom and
protect America; and

``Gold Star Families Remembrance Day'' by--
(A) performing acts of service and good will in
their communities; and

the ultimate sacrifice so that others could continue to
enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
