Key Points
The Senate officially recognized the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. This action honors the more than 10 million Americans who served during that time and the 58,281 who lost their lives in the conflict.
The resolution highlights the bravery of specific groups like the Donut Dollies and indigenous allies who supported U.S. troops. It also acknowledges the 1,545 service members who are still missing and supports continued efforts to bring their remains home to their families.
Lawmakers acknowledged that many veterans faced unfair treatment and a lack of respect when they returned home from the war. This resolution aims to address that history by expressing deep national gratitude and reaffirming respect for their service.
The policy focuses on the long term health of veterans, especially those exposed to Agent Orange. It commits the government to providing medical support and benefits for those still dealing with the effects of toxic chemicals used during the war.
Americans are encouraged to observe National Vietnam War Veterans Day on March 29. The resolution also supports projects at the Library of Congress that record veterans' personal stories so future generations can learn about their sacrifices.
