1
Relating to:
commemorating Hmong-Lao Veterans Day and honoring the Hmong-
2
Lao veterans who served alongside the United States in the Vietnam War.
AJR48,1,5
3
Whereas, during the Vietnam War, the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S.
4
Armed Forces recruited, organized, trained, and assisted Hmong-Lao forces to
5
combat the North Vietnamese Army and Pathet Lao forces; and
AJR48,1,9
6
Whereas, thousands of Hmong-Lao people courageously fought alongside
7
Americans throughout the Vietnam War and, facing harsh retribution from the
8
Vietnamese and Lao governments following the war’s end, many were ultimately
9
forced to flee their homes; and
AJR48,1,13
10
Whereas, on May 14, 1975, the last of the Hmong-Lao soldiers and their
11
families fled Laos for the Nam Phong refugee camp in Thailand to later resettle in
12
communities throughout the United States, including Wisconsin, and today, our
13
state is home to a significant number of Hmong-Lao veterans; and
AJR48,2,4
14
Whereas, in accordance with
2021 Wisconsin Act 31
, May 14 of each year is
1
designated as a day to thank Hmong-Lao veterans in Wisconsin for their service
2
and sacrifice, recall the accomplishments of Hmong-Lao veterans, and encourage
3
schools to include the military service of Hmong-Lao veterans in discussions and
4
curriculums about the Vietnam War; and
AJR48,2,7
5
Whereas, the Wisconsin Lao Veterans of America (WLVA) has established
6
chapters throughout our state to serve local communities and educate the public
7
about the contributions of our Hmong-Lao veterans during the Vietnam War; and
AJR48,2,10
8
Whereas, today, the state of Wisconsin joins the WLVA and all Wisconsinites
9
in reflecting on the tremendous, and too often overlooked, heroism and sacrifice of
10
Hmong-Lao veterans in our state; now, therefore, be it
AJR48,2,14
11
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the members of
12
the Wisconsin Legislature recognize May 14, 2025, and May 14, 2026, as Hmong-
13
Lao Veterans Day and pay tribute to those Hmong-Lao veterans who honorably and
14
bravely served alongside the United States in the Vietnam War.
