The resolution commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, which took place on April 30, 2025. It acknowledges the war's duration from November 1, 1955, to April 30, 1975, and highlights the significant sacrifices made by Vietnam veterans, who represent about ten percent of their generation. The resolution also recognizes the challenging conditions these veterans faced and the lack of support they often received upon returning home, despite the more than fifty-eight thousand U.S. service members who lost their lives or were declared missing in action during the conflict.

In light of these acknowledgments, the Nebraska Legislature resolves to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War and the lives lost during this tumultuous period. The resolution serves as a celebration of the sacrifices made by those who served and aims to ensure that their contributions are recognized and remembered.
