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 from Wisconsin who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces across various conflicts, including the Civil War, World Wars, and more recent engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The resolution highlights the significant presence of Hispanic Americans in the military, noting that approximately 500,000 served during World War II alone, and recognizes the 61 Hispanic service members who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the estimated 8,500 Hispanic veterans currently residing in Wisconsin and the efforts of local organizations, such as the American GI Forum Wisconsin and the Latino Veterans Legacy of Valor Foundation, to support and honor these veterans. It coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, a period dedicated to celebrating the contributions of Hispanic Americans. The resolution calls for the Wisconsin Legislature to formally recognize and honor the bravery and sacrifices of Hispanic Wisconsinites who have served in the military.
