Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution supports designating February 1 as Blue Star Mother's Day. It highlights the history of the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., which was founded by mothers whose children are in the Armed Forces. The text notes that the organization packs care packages for deployed troops, helps homeless veterans, supports wounded warriors, and visits hospitalized veterans. The House of Representatives wants to honor the contributions of these mothers and encourage the public to observe the day and support local chapters.
