Today, State Representative Jeff Keicher signed on as a co-sponsor of House Resolution 249. A bipartisan resolution to recognize the Fall of Saigon and the sacrifices made by Vietnamese and Americans in the name of upholding the values of freedom and democracy.
Today is also the 50th anniversary of Saigon’s fall, marking the close of one of the most difficult chapters in American military history. Thousands of Americans gave their lives in Vietnam on the premise of preventing the spread of communism, and thousands more returned home with the scars of war. Thank you to all of our Vietnam Veterans for your service and sacrifice.
