Wicker | W000437 | www.wicker.senate.gov | wicker | https://www.wicker.senate.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., have introduced a resolution designating August 1, 2024, as Gold Star Children’s Day to recognize the sacrifices of the children of fallen service members. In just over a century since America’s Gold Star tradition began, nearly 5,500 Mississippians have made the ultimate sacrifice in a time frame ranging from World War I to the present day, resulting in roughly 10,000 Gold Star Children during that 100-year history. “The sons and daughters of our fallen service members carry on their legacy. Recognizing them with this special day is the least we can do to honor the lifelong sacrifice they made,” Senator Wicker said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z |
