 Recognizing and honoring former South Vietnamese commandos for their 
      heroism, sacrifice, and service during the Vietnam conflict.

Whereas South Vietnamese commandos were recruited by the United States as part 
        of OPLAN 34A or its predecessor or OPLAN 35 from 1961 to 1970;
Whereas these commandos conducted covert operations in North Vietnam during the 
        Vietnam conflict;
Whereas many were captured and imprisoned by North Vietnamese forces, some for 
        as long as 20 years;
Whereas these commandos served and fought proudly during the Vietnam conflict; 
        and
Whereas many of these commandos lost their lives serving in operations conducted 
        by the United States during the Vietnam conflict: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes and honors 
these former South Vietnamese commandos for their heroism, sacrifice, 
and service during the Vietnam conflict.
