Proclaims September 25, 2022, as Gold Star Mothers' and Families' Day in California to honor families of deceased service members.

Recognizes the tradition of honoring Gold Star families, which began after World War I to support mothers who lost children in military service.

References the gold star symbol displayed in home windows by military families to honor service members who have died, as opposed to blue stars for living members.

Acknowledges that over 7,054 service members have lost their lives in the Global War on Terrorism since 2001 and recognizes the sacrifices of their families.

Calls for continued local, state, and federal support and recognition of Gold Star families both immediately after their loss and in subsequent years.
