RESOLUTION
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Vietnam Veterans of America.
Whereas the year 2003 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Vietnam
Veterans of America;
Whereas the history of Vietnam Veterans of America is a story of the United
States' gradual recognition of the tremendous sacrifices of its Vietnam-
era veterans and their families;
Whereas Vietnam Veterans of America is dedicated to advocating on behalf of its
members;
Whereas Vietnam Veterans of America raises public and member awareness of
critical issues affecting Vietnam-era veterans and their families;
Whereas the local grassroots efforts of Vietnam Veterans of America chapters,
such as Chapter One in Rutland, Vermont, which was founded 23 years ago
in April of 1980, have greatly contributed to the quality of the lives
of veterans in our Nation's communities;
Whereas Vietnam Veterans of America promotes its principles through
volunteerism, professional advocacy, and claims work; and
Whereas the future of Vietnam Veterans of America will rely not only on its past
accomplishments, but also on the future accomplishments of its members,
and these will ensure that Vietnam Veterans of America remains a leader
among veterans advocacy organizations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commemorates the 25th anniversary of the founding of
Vietnam Veterans of America, and commends it for its efforts in
the advancement of veterans rights, which set the standard for
all other veterans organizations around the country;
(2) asks all Americans to join in the celebration of the
25th anniversary of Vietnam Veterans of America, and its 25
years of advocacy on behalf of Vietnam veterans; and
(3) encourages Vietnam Veterans of America to continue to
represent and promote its goals in the veterans' community and
on Capitol Hill, and to continue to keep its national
membership--consisting of 45,000 members and 600 chapters--
strong.
