Congressman Jimmy Gomez Introduces Resolution Honoring Korean, Korean American Vietnam War Veterans
Washington,
May 28, 2019
In response to the introduction of H.Res 404 – commemorating the service of Korean and Korean-American veterans of the Vietnam War – Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) issued the following statement: “Too often, the commitment of Korean and Korean American Vietnam War veterans has gone unnoticed. Neglecting the important role these servicemembers played is not only an affront to their sacrifice, but it also fails to fully appreciate our history and the profound impact the Vietnam conflict had on our country. “My resolution – supported by over 60 Members of Congress – honors those who valiantly served throughout the Vietnam War, both in and alongside the United States Armed Forces. As the congressional representative of the largest Korean American community in the nation, I take great pride in the introduction of this bipartisan resolution commending such service.” |
