Establishing Day of Tears: US Flag lowered on January 22nd to memorialize the unborn.

This resolution calls on the House of Representatives to recognize January 22nd each year as the "Day of Tears." On this day, citizens would be encouraged to lower the United States flag to half-staff to mourn and honor the unborn children who have lost their lives due to abortion since the 1973 Supreme Court ruling. The resolution is symbolic and does not introduce new legal obligations or financial changes for citizens, but establishes a new annual national commemoration.
