Recognizing and acknowledging Vietnam Veterans Recognition Week, to
be held in homage of the honorable and dedicated veterans who
served during the Vietnam War.
Whereas, There are approximately 3.4 million veterans of the
Vietnam War in this country; and
Whereas, 8,744,000 military personnel from this country served in active duty in the Vietnam War; and
Whereas, 58,299 American military personnel lost their lives
from Vietnam related duty; and
Whereas, The men and women who served during the Vietnam War,
though suffering great personal sacrifice, and in some instances,
being reviled by some of their own fellow citizens, did so with
intense and unquestioned honor and dedication to this Country; and
Whereas, May 1st through May 7th is slated as "Vietnam Veterans
Recognition Week," a time to pay particular homage to these
veterans who served selflessly and courageously, but who, at the
time of their service, did not receive the recognition they so
greatly deserved; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia;
That recognition and acknowledgment is hereby expressed by the
members to our Vietnam Veterans who will receive national
recognition during the upcoming Vietnam Veterans Recognition Week
of May 1st through May 7th for their great valor and dedication as
well as the honor they have bestowed upon this country; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby requested to
forward a copy of this Resolution to The West Virginia Veteran, the
official publication of West Virginia Veterans of Foreign Wars.
