H.R. No. 787 is a resolution commending the Texas chapters of Blue Star Mothers of America (BSMA) for their exceptional service to military families and personnel. The BSMA was founded in 1942 by Army Captain George Maines, who called for mothers of U.S. armed forces members to unite. The organization, which received its congressional charter in 1960, is nonpartisan and nonsectarian, consisting of mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers, and female legal guardians of military members and veterans. Today, there are at least 10 Texas chapters among over 200 nationwide, representing thousands of military families.

The resolution highlights the various contributions of BSMA members, including shipping care packages to deployed personnel, visiting hospitalized veterans, assisting veterans organizations, and honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation. By fostering a community of compassion and promoting patriotism, the BSMA plays a vital role in supporting troops, veterans, and their families. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its sincere appreciation for the work of the BSMA and extends best wishes for their future endeavors.
