HJRES 65 United States House · 118th Congress

Designating November 9th of each year as "Gold Star Father's Day".

H.J.Res. 65 designates November 9th each year as "Gold Star Father's Day" to honor fathers who have lost children serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The resolution recognizes these fathers' sacrifice, aligns with existing recognition of Gold Star Mothers (since 1936), and supports efforts to honor military families. It does not create new benefits or legal requirements but formally designates a day for national recognition of fathers who lost children in military service. This symbolic resolution follows Georgia's 2017 designation of November 9 as "Georgia Gold Star Father's Day."
