Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement by the House of Representatives expressing support for designating February 1 as Blue Star Mother's Day. It recognizes the contributions of Blue Star Mothers and encourages the public to observe the day and support local chapters. It does not create a federal holiday, change federal law, or commit federal funds.
This is a simple resolution introduced in the House and would only reflect the view of that chamber; it does not require Senate approval or the President's signature and has no legal force.
This House resolution supports designating February 1 as “Blue Star Mother’s Day.” It recounts the history of Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., recognizes the organization’s contributions supporting military members, veterans, and families, and encourages Americans to observe the day and support local chapters.
The resolution is symbolic and non‑binding.
As a non‑binding House resolution it is unlikely to become law; passage in the House is likely but enactment requires separate Senate/legislative vehicle.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise and well-structured commemorative resolution that clearly articulates its purpose and historical justification and uses appropriate, limited mechanisms (expressions of support and encouragement) without creating binding legal obligations.
