[H. Res. 605 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                    September 24, 2007.
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers have suffered the supreme sacrifice of 
        motherhood by losing a son or daughter who served in the Armed Forces, 
        and thus perpetuate the memory of all whose lives are sacrificed in war;
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers assist veterans of the Armed Forces and 
        their dependents in the presentation of claims to the Department of 
        Veterans Affairs and aid members of the Armed Forces 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 Americans throughout the history of the 
        United States;
Whereas Americans honor themselves and the mothers of America when they revere 
        and emphasize the role of the home and the family as the true 
        foundations of the United States;
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 30, 2007, is being recognized as Gold Star Mothers Day: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
