Recognizing National Vietnam War Veterans Day, March
29, 2025.
WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to recognize March 29, 2025, as
National Vietnam War Veterans Day; and
WHEREAS, The United States was involved in the Vietnam War for a
period of twenty years, and during that time, more than 8,744,000
Americans served in the armed forces, including more than 58,000 who
were killed, more than 300,000 who were wounded, and approximately 600
who were held as prisoners of war. On March 30, 1973, U.S. combat
troops were officially withdrawn from Vietnam, and in 2017, March 29
was designated National Vietnam War Veterans Day to honor of those who
fought, died, or are still unaccounted for as a result of the Vietnam
War; and
WHEREAS, This year marks fifty-two years after the end of
America’s role in the Vietnam War, and the 2025 National Vietnam War
Veterans Day underscores the importance of this period of history for
all Americans. It is especially important to commemorate the service
men and women who valiantly served our nation’s ideals and interests;
and
WHEREAS, It is imperative that we openly acknowledge our debt to
those who bore our country’s standard with courage, dignity, and
decency through their military service. It is, indeed, fitting that
National Vietnam War Veterans Day be observed to honor the selfless
and courageous members of the U.S. Armed Forces who demonstrated a
commendable adherence to the noble principles of democracy and love of
country through their outstanding military and community service
during the Vietnam War; therefore be it
