This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating June 19, 2025, as "Veterans of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day." The measure honors the South Vietnamese military forces who fought alongside American troops during the Vietnam War, acknowledging the approximately 250,000 soldiers killed, over 1 million wounded, and thousands more who were imprisoned in labor camps after the war ended. The resolution recognizes both those who died in combat and the veterans who fled Vietnam and rebuilt their lives in the United States, where they have contributed culturally and economically to American society while advocating for democracy and human rights. June 19 marks the 60th anniversary of this annual commemoration observed by Vietnamese Americans worldwide. The resolution carries no funding requirements and simply establishes congressional support for honoring these veterans' sacrifices and contributions to the nation.
