The Ohio House of Representatives has adopted a resolution recognizing March 29, 2025, as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This day serves to honor the more than 8.7 million Americans who served in the Vietnam War, during which over 58,000 lost their lives, more than 300,000 were wounded, and approximately 600 were taken as prisoners of war. The resolution highlights the significance of this day, which was officially designated in 2017, as a time to remember and pay tribute to those who fought, died, or remain unaccounted for from the conflict.

As the resolution notes, 2025 marks fifty-two years since the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the sacrifices made by service members during this tumultuous period in history. The members of the House express their commitment to acknowledging the courage, dignity, and decency exhibited by these veterans, reinforcing the values of democracy and patriotism they upheld through their service. The resolution calls for the Clerk of the House to transmit authenticated copies to Ohio's news media to promote awareness of this observance.
