IV 110th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 605 In the House of Representatives, U. S., September 24, 2007 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 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

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.

Lorraine C. Miller, Clerk.
