Supporting the designation of November 9 of each year as "Gold Star Father's Day".

This joint resolution expresses congressional support for designating November 9 of each year as "Gold Star Father's Day." The primary goal is to honor and celebrate fathers who have lost children while they were serving in the United States Armed Forces, recognizing their extraordinary and unimaginable loss. The resolution acknowledges the immense sacrifices made by military families and the unique heroism of parents of fallen service members. It highlights that while Gold Star Mothers have had a designated day since 1936, and Gold Star Fathers gained benefit parity in 2015, a specific day for fathers has not yet been established nationally. Several states, including Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee, have already recognized November 9 for this purpose. The designation aims to support military families and honor the courage of fathers who understand the true price of freedom.
