To amend title 36, United States Code, to establish the Red Star Service Banner as an officially recognized service banner, and for other purposes.

# HR 7815 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would officially recognize the Red Star Service Banner as a U.S. service banner under federal law. A service banner is a flag or symbol displayed by families to honor their military members. Currently, the Gold Star Banner (recognizing fallen service members) and Blue Star Banner (recognizing active-duty members) are officially recognized by the government.

This bill would add the Red Star Banner to that official list, though the specific purpose of the red star designation is not detailed in the available information. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects military families and veterans who may want to display the Red Star Service Banner. It also affects federal agencies responsible for maintaining official symbols and recognitions of military service. **Current Status:** HR 7815 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Jack Bergman (R-MI). Without additional context about the red star's specific meaning, the practical impact of official recognition would likely be symbolic and administrative rather than providing tangible benefits.
