Expressing support for the designation of June 19, 2025, as "Veterans of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day".

H. Res. 528 is a non-binding House resolution introduced in the 119th Congress by Mr. Tran. It expresses formal support for designating June 19, 2025, as “Veterans of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day.” The resolution honors veterans of the former South Vietnamese armed forces (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines) and acknowledges their sacrifices alongside American service members during the Vietnam War. It also recognizes the experiences of refugees who fled Vietnam after the war and their ongoing contributions to the United States, highlighting themes of democracy, religious freedom, and human rights. Because it is a resolution, it signals support and commemoration rather than creating a new law or establishing a funded program. The bill notes that June 19 is recognized by Vietnamese Americans worldwide as Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day, and it marks the 60th anniversary of that commemoration in 2025. It calls on Congress to honor the memory and contributions of those who served, including victims, survivors, activists, and freedom fighters, and underscores the joint efforts of South Vietnamese and American service members during the conflict.
