The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 48 commemorates Hmong-Lao Veterans Day, recognizing the significant contributions and sacrifices of Hmong-Lao veterans who fought alongside the United States during the Vietnam War. The resolution highlights the recruitment and support provided by the CIA and U.S. Armed Forces to Hmong-Lao forces, who faced severe repercussions from the Vietnamese and Lao governments after the war. Many of these veterans and their families were forced to flee their homes, ultimately resettling in various communities across the United States, including Wisconsin, which is home to a notable population of Hmong-Lao veterans.

The resolution designates May 14 of each year as a day to honor Hmong-Lao veterans in Wisconsin, encouraging public recognition of their military service and contributions to the Vietnam War. It also acknowledges the efforts of the Wisconsin Lao Veterans of America (WLVA) in educating the public about these veterans' roles. The Wisconsin Legislature officially recognizes May 14, 2025, and May 14, 2026, as Hmong-Lao Veterans Day, paying tribute to the bravery and honor of those who served.
