WASHINGTON—Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson cosponsored a congressional resolution designating September 20th through September 26th, 2026, as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week. This congressional resolution is sponsored by Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA).

“For generations, Gold Star Families have been selfless, strong, and have sacrificed so much for this country,” said Rep.

Today, this week, and every day, we stand with America's Gold Star Families. I'm proud to join my colleagues in honoring the families of America's service members who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country and the freedoms we hold so dearly.”
