Expressing support for the designation of June 19, 2025, as "Veterans of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day".

Sponsored By: Representative Tran, Derek [D-CA-45]

Introduced

Summary

Would designate June 19, 2025 as Veterans of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day to honor South Vietnamese military members and their sacrifices. It highlights their wartime roles, the heavy human cost of the Vietnam era, postwar imprisonment and exile, and the contributions of Vietnamese American veterans to U.S. communities and human rights advocacy.

Show full summary
  • South Vietnamese veterans and their families would receive formal congressional recognition for service and sacrifice. The resolution notes they fought alongside U.S. troops and records more than 250,000 South Vietnamese and more than 58,000 U.S. service members killed.
  • Vietnamese American communities are acknowledged for enduring long journeys, months at sea and in camps, and for rebuilding lives in the United States while contributing culturally and economically.
  • The text records post-1975 hardships, noting more than 250,000 South Vietnamese service members were held in prison camps with over 20,000 dying before release, and it observes that June 19 is already commemorated by Vietnamese Americans, with 2025 marking the 60th anniversary of that observance.
