Proclamation 10975 of September 25, 2025
Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Since the dawn of our Republic, millions of brave men
and women have answered the call of liberty to preserve
peace, uphold our sovereignty, and defend the sacred
ideals that have defined our Nation for nearly 250
years. Countless souls have perished in this noble
pursuit--their supreme sacrifice borne by surviving
families with profound sorrow, remarkable strength, and
inspiring dignity. This Gold Star Mother's and Family's
Day, we remember and honor the loved ones of those
patriots who paid the highest price for our birthright
of freedom.
The supreme sacrifice of our fallen heroes is neither
solitary nor finite. Instead, it is shared by bereaved
families who bury the fallen and wage an unending
battle of unfathomable heartache that is not erased by
the passage of time. Gold Star Families know better
than anyone the tremendous cost of our freedom, paid
for by the blood of their beloved husbands, wives,
sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers, who forfeited
their hopes and dreams so that others may live with
peace, safety, and liberty in the greatest country on
the face of the Earth. We are eternally grateful for
their heroic sacrifice.
Last month, I was proud to meet with the Gold Star
Families of the 13 service members who lost their lives
in the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Four years
later, these families carry a burden of grief that is
compounded by the absence of accountability and
compassion from the previous administration. As
Commander in Chief, I will never betray our warfighters
or turn my back on their families. They deserve our
enduring support and respect and an aggressive policy
of peace through strength so that fewer families are
shattered on the field of battle.
As we observe Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day, the
First Lady and I extend our steadfast love and
unwavering devotion to those who bear the unbearable
with grace and resilience. May you find comfort in
knowing the sacrifice of your hero will never be
forgotten.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115 of June
23, 1936 (49 Stat. 1895 as amended), has designated the
last Sunday in September as ``Gold Star Mother's Day.''
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 28,
2025, as Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day. I call
upon all Government officials to display the flag of
the United States over Government buildings, and I
encourage the American people to display the flag and
hold appropriate ceremonies as an expression of our
Nation's gratitude and respect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-fifth day of September, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and
fiftieth.
