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 expresses appreciation for their commitment to fostering a sense of community, compassion, and patriotism among military families. The Senate extends its best wishes to all associated with the Texas chapters of Blue Star Mothers of America for their continued efforts in service to the military community.
