Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of our Gold Star Mothers.

As we honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, we pay tribute to their families, who have made tremendous sacrifice for the sake of our country. On this day, we give due honor to those mothers whose sons or daughters have given their lives while defending our nation.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115 of June 23, 1936 designated the last Sunday in September as ``Gold Star Mother's Day.''

Now, therefore, I, TOM RICE by virtue of the authority vested in me as representative of the Seventh District of the state of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim September 27, 2015 to be Gold Star Mother's Day. I encourage the American people to display the flag and hold appropriate ceremonies as an expression of our nation's sympathy and respect for our Gold Star Mothers.
