Bill > SF1576

This bill appropriates a total of $300,000 ($150,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $150,000 in fiscal year 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to support a grant for Special Guerrilla Units Veterans and Families of USA, Inc. The purpose of this grant is to document and preserve the oral histories of Hmong veterans who participated in the Secret War in Laos, a covert military operation sponsored by the United States during the Vietnam War era. The organization will collect, archive, and document these veterans' stories, with the broader goal of creating educational programming and resources to help teach the public and future generations about the Hmong community's history, cultural heritage, and significant contributions in Minnesota. This funding aims to ensure that the experiences and historical significance of Hmong veterans are properly recorded, remembered, and understood.
