AI Summary

This joint resolution recognizes and commends the significant contributions and sacrifices of Latinas and Latinos who have served in the United States Armed Forces, acknowledging their involvement in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War, including notable actions during the Revolutionary War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War with units like the "Borinqueneers," and the Vietnam War, where many received the nation's highest military valor award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. The resolution also highlights the efforts of Dr. Hector Garcia and the American GI Forum, an organization founded to ensure veterans received their deserved benefits, and notes that over 200,000 Latinas/os are currently on active duty with over 1.5 million Latina/o veterans residing in the United States, including Colorado.
