U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), both members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, have introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate September 21-29, 2024, as “Blue Star Welcome Week.” This nationwide campaign aims to foster a better sense of belonging and community for military families who often face frequent relocations.
“Alaska’s military members and their families sacrifice so much on behalf of our state and our country,” stated Sen. Sullivan. “Frequent moves can put strain on families trying to establish ties in the communities in which they serve. Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity to reach out and connect with our brave men and women in uniform and their loved ones who serve our country to make them feel welcomed and supported by their fellow Americans.”
Sen. Kaine added, “Many servicemembers and their families are stationed in Virginia, and I’m proud that the Commonwealth has welcomed them into our communities. Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity to thank military families for their sacrifices, connect with our neighbors, and help military families feel at home in their new communities.”
