HJR 1010 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

Vietnam Veterans Military Appreciation

HJR 1010 is a symbolic joint resolution recognizing Colorado veterans who served in the Vietnam War. It formally honors the service of over 623 Coloradans who died and 24 who remain unaccounted for during the conflict, while acknowledging the challenges faced by veterans upon return. The resolution expresses appreciation for their fortitude, activism, and community contributions through four specific points of recognition. It does not create new policies or benefits but encourages all Coloradans to remember these sacrifices, with copies sent to veterans' organizations and state officials. This is a commemorative measure, not a legislative change.
