Blue Star Mothers Day Act

This bill would add a section to federal law naming February 1 of each year as Blue Star Mothers Day. Blue Star Mothers are mothers of people serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, and February 1 marks the date in 1942 when the group Blue Star Mothers of America was founded in Flint, Michigan. The bill encourages private citizens, organizations, and federal, state, and local governments to recognize the day through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts. It does not create a paid federal holiday.
