The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 89, introduced by a group of Wisconsin representatives and senators, aims to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Hispanic veterans in the U.S. Armed Forces. It highlights the significant role that Hispanic Americans have played in various conflicts throughout history, including the Civil War, World Wars, and more recent engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The resolution notes that approximately 500,000 Hispanic service members fought in World War II alone, and recognizes the 61 Hispanic service members who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for valor.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges that 18.4 percent of the armed forces are Hispanic, with an estimated 8,500 Hispanic veterans residing in Wisconsin. 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 these veterans. The resolution coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, and calls for the state of Wisconsin to reflect on and recognize the often-overlooked contributions of Hispanic and Latino veterans.
