Gold Star Mother’s Day.

There is no greater sacrifice a family can make for our country than losing a child who gave their all in order to defend our freedoms. To all Gold Star Families across Southern Arizona, thank you for your incredible sacrifice. I cannot imagine the hurt you have endured, and I want to ensure that you are remembered and honored by our local community and across the country.

In honor of this Gold Star Mother’s Day, which was recognized on Sunday, I was proud to join a number of my colleagues to introduce H.Res. 1552, which recognizes September 20 through September 26, 2026, as “Gold Star Families Remembrance Week,” prioritizing the remembrance of these families and what they have sacrificed for our nation.

I remain committed to ensuring Gold Star Families are recognized, supported, and remembered not just on these solemn days, but throughout the year. Because of their sacrifices and the ultimate price their children paid while serving our nation, our freedoms are protected. There is no amount of gratitude which can repay them, but it is our responsibility to keep their legacies alive through honoring and remembering their service.
