Senate Resolution No. 456 recognizes the significant contributions of the Blue Star Mothers of America (BSMA), a nonpartisan organization founded in 1942 that supports families of U.S. military personnel. The resolution highlights the organization's origins, beginning with an advertisement by Army Captain George Maines that led to the first meeting of mothers in Flint, Michigan. BSMA, which received its congressional charter in 1960, includes mothers, grandmothers, and female guardians of military members and veterans. The resolution notes that there are at least 10 chapters in Texas, part of a larger network of over 200 chapters nationwide, all dedicated to serving military families.

The resolution commends the Texas chapters of BSMA for their dedication to supporting troops, veterans, and their families through various initiatives, such as sending care packages, visiting hospitalized veterans, and honoring those who have sacrificed for the nation. It emphasizes the organization's role in fostering a sense of community, compassion, and patriotism among its members. The Texas Senate extends its best wishes to all associated with the chapters for their continued efforts in serving military families.
