Bill > SR58

This resolution recognizes March 29, 2025, as "Vietnam War Veterans Day" in Pennsylvania, honoring the approximately 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War period (November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975), including the nearly 2.7 million who served in-country or in-waters. The resolution highlights the significant sacrifices made by service members, noting that over 58,000 service members were killed in action (including 3,150 Pennsylvanians), more than 300,000 were wounded, and 2,500 were held as prisoners of war. It references the 1982 Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a 2012 presidential proclamation, and the 2017 Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, which designated March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The resolution builds upon Act 124 of 2024, which formally established March 29 as Vietnam War Veterans Day in Pennsylvania, and calls for recognizing the contributions and honoring the sacrifices of Vietnam War veterans and their families.
