Gold Star Spouses Day

On April 5th, Gold Star Spouses Day honors the surviving families of military service members who died while serving their country.

The day gives the spouses and their families remembrance, as well as a period of remembrance for their sacrifices. On this day, several communities and organisations host events to show their love for Gold Star families. They honor and commemorate fallen soldiers through ceremonies, teas, memorial races, and luncheons..

Our service members' service members' lives go beyond the battlefield and their contribution to their country. Many women and husbands who have been left homeless and husbands who have joined a special group that no one wants to join. We can only provide in return as a nation with our help, knowledge, and admiration.

A gold star spouses day celebration in the United States has a long tradition

Army Captain Robert L. Queissner, a World War I and Army Captain Robert L. Queissner, opened the way for Gold Star families. National Gold Star Mother's Day was established on June 23, 1936, by a joint congressional resolution, and it would take place on the Last Sunday in September. President Barack Obama changed the day to "Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day" in 2011.

In 2010, the first Gold Star Wives Day was celebrated in December. Then in 2012, the US Senate designated Gold Star Wives Day to be commemorated each year on April 5th. The Senate later expanded to include all spouses, and the day's name is often used interchangeably.

Both spouses are accepted by the non-profit group Gold Star Wives, Inc.
