The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature commemorates Hmong-Lao Veterans Day, recognizing the significant contributions and sacrifices of Hmong-Lao veterans who fought alongside U.S. forces during the Vietnam War. It highlights the recruitment and support provided by the CIA and U.S. Armed Forces to Hmong-Lao forces, who faced severe repercussions from their governments after the war, leading many to flee to refugee camps and eventually resettle in the United States, including Wisconsin. The resolution emphasizes the importance of acknowledging these veterans' service and encourages educational institutions to include their stories in discussions about the Vietnam War.

The resolution designates May 14 of each year as Hmong-Lao Veterans Day in Wisconsin, in accordance with 2021 Wisconsin Act 31, to honor the bravery and sacrifices of these veterans. It also recognizes the efforts of the Wisconsin Lao Veterans of America (WLVA) in serving local communities and educating the public about the Hmong-Lao veterans' contributions. The Wisconsin Legislature calls upon all citizens to reflect on the heroism of Hmong-Lao veterans and officially recognizes May 14, 2025, and May 14, 2026, as Hmong-Lao Veterans Day.
