Gold Star Spouses Day
April 5
Gold Star Spouses Day is an annual observance on
April 5th dedicated to honoring the surviving spouses of U.S. Armed Forces members who died in service or from service-connected disabilities, recognizing their strength and sacrifice alongside their fallen partners, a tradition rooted in World War I’s Gold Star service flags and formalized by Congress in 2010. It’s a day for the nation to offer support, remember, and connect with these resilient families through acts of kindness and by sharing stories of their loved ones.
