The bill appropriates a total of $11.5 million from the arts and cultural heritage fund over two fiscal years (2024 and 2025) to support the Coalition of Allied Vietnam War Veterans. The funding is designated for the production of a film series and the collection and archiving of personal and historical accounts from various ethnic groups involved in the Vietnam War, including Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodian, Hmong, and U.S. military veterans. The project aims to document individual stories and experiences related to the Vietnam War, encompassing themes such as imprisonment, genocide, and immigration to Minnesota.

This initiative highlights the importance of preserving the diverse narratives surrounding the Vietnam War and aims to foster a deeper understanding of its impact on different communities. The bill emphasizes the need for comprehensive documentation of these accounts to ensure that the experiences of all affected groups are recognized and remembered.
