SUMMARY: U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) and Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) have introduced a bipartisan resolution designating September 21-27 as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week nationwide. This period honors families of military service members who lost their lives defending the nation. Hyde-Smith first established the week in 2018, and since 2021, both senators have jointly introduced the resolution, receiving full Senate approval each time. The Gold Star symbolizes the sacrifice of fallen service members and their families, tracing back to World War I. Both senators emphasize the importance of recognizing and supporting these families for their immense sacrifices.
