The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 84, introduced by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, aims to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Hispanic veterans from Wisconsin who have served in various conflicts, including the Civil War, World Wars, and more recent military engagements. The resolution highlights the significant role of Hispanic Americans in the U.S. Armed Forces, noting that approximately 500,000 served in World War II alone, and recognizes the 61 Hispanic service members who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor. It also points out that 18.4 percent of the armed forces are Hispanic and that around 8,500 Hispanic veterans reside in Wisconsin.

The resolution coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, a period dedicated to acknowledging the contributions of Hispanic Americans. It emphasizes the efforts of local organizations, such as the American GI Forum Wisconsin and the Latino Veterans Legacy of Valor Foundation, in serving and honoring Hispanic veterans. Ultimately, the resolution calls for the Wisconsin Legislature to formally recognize and honor the bravery and sacrifices of Hispanic Wisconsinites who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
