Creates a Red Star Service Banner to honor service members, veterans, and first responders who died by suicide.

This bill would create an official Red Star Service Banner. It would recognize service members, veterans, and first responders who died by suicide. It would also acknowledge their families' sacrifice. Families and organizations could display this banner to honor their loved ones.

What Would Change

Today, there is no officially recognized "Red Star Service Banner" under federal law for commemorating service members, veterans, or first responders who have died by suicide. If this bill passes, the Red Star Service Banner would become an official commemorative symbol, with a specific design and guidelines for display, honoring these individuals and their families.
