Through this resolution, Delaware seeks to foster a greater appreciation for the contributions and sacrifices of Vietnam veterans. It underscores the need for public recognition of the historical significance of the Vietnam War, as well as the continuing impact on veterans and their families today.

SCR23 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution that recognizes March 29, 2023, as 'National Vietnam War Veterans Day' in the State of Delaware. The resolution is primarily aimed at honoring and acknowledging the service of Vietnam veterans and their families for their sacrifices during the war. This day is intended to highlight various aspects including the contributions of the Armed Forces, support organizations, technological and medical advancements during the Vietnam War, and many wartime contributions by American citizens both on the battlefield and at home.
The sentiment surrounding SCR23 is overwhelmingly positive and supportive of Vietnam veterans. Lawmakers and community leaders expressed strong agreement on the necessity of honoring these veterans, reflecting a collective acknowledgment of their sacrifices and honor. This reflects a broader societal trend towards recognizing the contributions of veterans, particularly from conflicts that were historically contentious, such as the Vietnam War, and provides an opportunity for healing and recognition for many who served.
While the resolution serves as a broad acknowledgment of veteran contributions, there may be underlying discussions regarding the adequacy of support services for Vietnam veterans. Although SCR23 itself is not contentious, it could reflect larger debates about how best to honor and support veterans in terms of healthcare, benefits, and recognition of past injustices faced by these service members. Discussion surrounding veteran issues often includes concerns about how well current systems provide for all veterans, particularly those who were exposed to toxic substances during their service.
