Bill > LR137

This resolution commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, which lasted from November 1, 1955, to April 30, 1975. The resolution acknowledges the significant sacrifices of Vietnam veterans, who represented approximately ten percent of their generation and served under extremely challenging conditions. It highlights the difficult treatment these veterans often received upon returning home, frequently being blamed or denigrated regardless of whether they were drafted or volunteered. The resolution notes that more than 58,000 United States service members died or were listed as missing in action during the conflict. By formally recognizing these veterans and their sacrifices, the resolution seeks to honor their service and the lives lost during this tumultuous period of American military history. Specifically, the Nebraska Legislature resolves to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War and celebrate the milestone of fifty years since the war's conclusion.
