The resolution acknowledges and honors the Hmong community in Arkansas, highlighting their significant contributions to the state's culture and society. With approximately 2,500 members in northwest Arkansas and smaller populations in various counties, the Hmong community is characterized by their dedication to hard work and cultural preservation. They engage in various professions, including agriculture, education, law enforcement, and healthcare, while also striving to pass down their language, customs, and traditions to future generations. The Hmong New Year celebration, a vital cultural event, showcases their rich heritage through traditional clothing, food, games, and performances.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the historical context of the Hmong people's bravery during the Laotian Civil War, where they played a crucial role in supporting U.S. military efforts. Their actions during this conflict, including rescuing downed pilots and engaging in combat against North Vietnamese forces, led to significant sacrifices and challenges for the Hmong people. Following the war, many Hmong individuals fled to refugee camps in Thailand, and with the assistance of U.S. officials, they were resettled in various countries, including the United States. The resolution ultimately calls for the recognition of the Hmong community's resilience and contributions to Arkansas.
