Between 1955 and 1975, more than 10 million Americans served during the Vietnam War era, with troop levels peaking at roughly 549,500 in 1969. The war cost 58,281 American lives, left over 300,000 wounded, and 1,545 service members remain missing today. This resolution marks the 50th anniversary of the war's end, honors the veterans who served — including the approximately 10,000 women and indigenous allies like the Hmong — and acknowledges the mistreatment many faced upon returning home. It also reaffirms the commitment to care for veterans affected by Agent Orange and other toxic exposures.
