This bill amends Chapter 25-2 of the General Laws to add a new section designating the fifth day in April as "Rhode Island Gold Star Spouses Day." This day is meant to honor the surviving spouses of military service members who died while serving their country. The bill requires appropriate exercises to be held in public places and for the state and American flags to be flown at half-staff over the Rhode Island state house on this day. The bill will take effect upon passage.
