So the gov gives him a gold star like a little kid in school?

Just a label. Not sure if they get any medal, commendation, etc. In the past some have been invited to the WH, Senate, House under other administrations.

It seems a stupid term for that sacrifice

The term gold star seems to have picked up in popularity during/after WWII. Here in Maine, our interstate highway was named "The Gold Star Highway" in the 1950s to commemorate American war vetrans who died in the wars.

There are no labels that can completely describe their sacrifice.
