                   RECOGNIZING GOLD STAR MOTHER'S DAY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize this 
past September 29 as Gold Star Mother's Day. Originally dedicated in 
1936, the last Sunday in September each year honors mothers who have 
lost a son or daughter while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
  Service and sacrifice for our Nation is not only a personal 
commitment, but one that involves the sacrifice of entire families and 
even whole communities. In Gold Star Mothers we can see one of the most 
important reminders of this sacrifice.
  Thank you to the Gold Star Mothers for your own service to our 
Nation. I understand that a day of recognition will not bring back the 
lives of your children, but you continue to be an inspiration to us 
all. With national conventions, fundraising events, and Federal 
advocacy, you continue to move forward and make our world a better 
place to live.
