WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09), Fort Bragg’s Congressman, introduced a bipartisan resolution alongside Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) designating September 20 through September 26 as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week to honor the families of servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
“Our Gold Star families have sacrificed more than most of us can ever imagine,” said Rep. Hudson. “As Fort Bragg’s Congressman, it is one of my greatest privileges to serve these families and help make sure the legacies of their loved ones are never forgotten. During Gold Star Families Remembrance Week, I hope folks across North Carolina will join me in honoring their sacrifice and remembering the heroes we lost.”
“Gold Star Families are living reminders that there is a price for the freedoms we enjoy every day as Americans. The families of the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice grieve the loss of their loved ones. To honor the loved ones of these American patriots, we recognize Gold Star Families Remembrance week. My colleagues and I send our gratitude to the thousands of families who keep the memories of their loved ones alive through sharing stories and continue to honor the bravery of those who lost their lives in service to our great Nation,” said Rep. Newhouse.
The resolution recognizes the sacrifices made by Gold Star families and encourages Americans to honor fallen servicemembers through acts of service and remembrance.
Hudson has long worked to support surviving military families, including leading the bipartisan Love Lives On Act to protect survivor benefits for military spouses who choose to remarry.
