IV 110th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1231 In the House of Representatives, U. S., June 26, 2008 RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of Vietnam Veterans Day and calling on the American people to recognize such a day.

Whereas the Vietnam War was the longest military conflict in United States history; Whereas more than 3,000,000 Americans served in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War; Whereas more than 58,000 Americans lost their lives defending the Nation’s freedom during the Vietnam conflict; Whereas 304,000 additional Americans were wounded during the war; Whereas on March 29, 1973, the last remaining members of the United States Armed Forces withdrew from Vietnam; and Whereas the United States does not have a national day of recognition specifically for Vietnam veterans: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1)supports the goals and ideals of Vietnam Veterans Day; and (2)calls on the American people to recognize such a day to remember those men and women who sacrificed their lives defending the Nation in the Vietnam conflict, to recognize the prisoners of war and those members of the Armed Forces who are missing in action, and to honor all Vietnam veterans who served the Nation faithfully to protect its freedom.
