 SENATE RESOLUTION 93--EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE DESIGNATION OF MARCH 
           2, 2019, AS ``GOLD STAR FAMILIES REMEMBRANCE DAY''

  Mr. COTTON (for himself, Mr. Jones, Mr. Manchin, and Ms. McSally) 
submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                               S. Res. 93

       Whereas March 2, 2019, marks the 90th anniversary of 
     President Calvin Coolidge signing an Act of Congress that 
     approved and funded the first Gold Star pilgrimage to enable 
     Gold Star mothers and widows to travel to the gravesites of 
     their loved ones who died during World War I;
       Whereas the members and veterans of the Armed Forces bear 
     the burden of protecting the freedom of the people of the 
     United States; and
       Whereas the sacrifices of the families of the fallen 
     members and veterans of the Armed Forces should never be 
     forgotten: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) supports the designation of March 2, 2019, as ``Gold 
     Star Families Remembrance Day'';
       (2) honors and recognizes the sacrifices made by the 
     families of veterans and members of the Armed Forces who gave 
     their lives to defend freedom and protect the United States; 
     and
       (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
     Gold Star Families Remembrance Day--
       (A) by performing acts of service and good will in their 
     communities; and
       (B) by celebrating the lives of those who have made the 
     ultimate sacrifice so that others could continue to enjoy 
     life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
