Bill Summary
25-1018 CONCERNING RECOGNITION OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF LATINA AND LATINO VETERANS.
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes and honors the significant military contributions of Latino and Latina veterans throughout United States history, highlighting their participation in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War. The resolution details numerous historical examples of Latino military service, including Colonel Bernardo de Galvez's support of the Continental Army, nearly 500,000 Latino Americans fighting in World War II, the Puerto Rican 65th Infantry Regiment's distinguished service in the Korean War, and over 80,000 Latino service members in the Vietnam War. The document emphasizes that 59 Hispanic veterans have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and currently, more than 200,000 Latinos are active duty military members and over 1.5 million are veterans. The resolution specifically commends the efforts of Dr. Hector Garcia, who founded the American GI Forum in 1948 to ensure equal benefits for Latino veterans, and ultimately calls on the Colorado General Assembly to formally recognize and honor the sacrifices and contributions of Latino and Latina service members in their ongoing fight for freedom.
