AI Summary
This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the Vietnam War and the Secret War in Laos in 2025, as well as the Fall of Phnom Penh in Cambodia, by recognizing the significant impact these conflicts had on Southeast Asian communities. The resolution highlights how many individuals from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam sought refuge in the United States, particularly in Wisconsin, where they have established vibrant communities and made substantial contributions to the state's social, cultural, and economic landscape. Specifically, Wisconsin now hosts the third-largest Hmong population in the United States, with thriving communities in cities like Appleton, Sheboygan, Green Bay, Wausau, and Milwaukee. The resolution aims to honor and commemorate the enduring strength, cultural heritage, and resilience of these Southeast Asian American communities, acknowledging their important role in enriching the nation's diversity and demonstrating their ability to overcome significant adversity after experiencing profound historical challenges.
