Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize February 1st each year as "Blue Star Mothers Day," a national observance honoring mothers whose children are currently serving in the U.S. military. This designation would give these families a dedicated day for public recognition and appreciation of their sacrifice and service to the country. The change would be added to federal law but would not require any government spending or create new programs.
