The resolution from the Alaska State Legislature calls on the United States Congress to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Hmong veterans of the Vietnam War. It highlights the significant contributions and sacrifices made by Hmong soldiers, who were recruited by the CIA to combat communist forces in Laos beginning in 1960. The resolution notes that approximately 100,000 Hmong soldiers were trained and engaged in guerrilla warfare, suffering high casualties, with around 40,000 losing their lives and many more injured or missing in action. Despite their critical role in supporting U.S. military efforts, the Hmong soldiers' contributions have largely gone unrecognized due to the covert nature of the war.

The resolution emphasizes the plight of Hmong soldiers and their families, many of whom became refugees after the war due to retribution from communist forces. It asserts that these veterans were promised equal treatment to other U.S. veterans and calls for recognition of their service through the Congressional Gold Medal. The resolution is directed to various high-ranking officials, including the President, Vice President, and members of Congress, urging them to acknowledge the sacrifices of Hmong veterans and ensure they receive the honor they deserve.
