Gold Star Mother and Family Day is a heartfelt tribute to the parents, spouses, children, and loved ones of service members who lost their lives in military service to the United States. It is a day set aside to recognize the profound sacrifice these families have made and to honor their strength, resilience, and enduring love.

This day is on the calendar to ensure that the families of the fallen are never overlooked or forgotten. Behind every uniform is a family who bears the weight of loss with quiet courage. Their loved ones gave everything in defense of our country, and their families continue to carry that legacy with honor.

Across the nation, communities gather to offer comfort, gratitude, and remembrance. Gold Star families are a powerful reminder of what it truly means to serve and to sacrifice. On this day, and every day, we uphold our promise to remember their loss, to share their stories, and to walk beside them in solidarity and respect.
