RESOLUTION
Commending Korean American veterans of the Vietnam War for their
service to the United States.
Whereas Korean veterans of the Vietnam War served honorably throughout the
conflict, fighting courageously alongside the United States Armed Forces
and often making the ultimate sacrifice, with many later becoming United
States citizens;
Whereas the United States holds as its highest ideals freedom, democracy, and
self-determination;
Whereas during the Vietnam War, more than 3,000,000 members of the United States
Armed Forces fought bravely to preserve and defend these ideals with
some still missing in action;
Whereas 58,193 members of the United States Armed Forces were killed, more than
300,000 were wounded, and 2,000 are missing in action;
Whereas soldiers from the Republic of Korea were sent to the Vietnam War to
support the United States Armed Forces and the cause of freedom at the
request of the United States;
Whereas 325,517 Korean soldiers served in Vietnam from 1964 until the last
soldier left Saigon on March 23, 1973, making Korean soldiers the second
largest contingent of troops sent by allies of the United States;
Whereas Korean troops fought bravely throughout the theater and were known for
their dedication, tenacity, and effectiveness on the battlefield;
Whereas 5,099 Korean soldiers were killed and 10,962 Korean soldiers were
injured, many in defense of United States friends and allies;
Whereas it is estimated that 20 percent of Korean veterans of the Vietnam War
suffer from significant injuries including post-traumatic stress
disorder, total disability, and the effects of the toxic defoliant Agent
Orange; and
Whereas Korean American veterans of the Vietnam War honorably upheld the highest
ideals of the United States through their dedicated service and
considerable sacrifices: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends Korean
American veterans of the Vietnam War for their service to the United
States.
