A resolution acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Vietnam war and expressing regret for the mistreatment of veterans returning home from the war.

SRES 778 is a Senate resolution acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of Vietnam War veterans and expressing regret for the mistreatment they faced upon returning home. It recognizes over 58,000 service members killed and 153,000 wounded, highlights veterans' exposure to harmful chemicals like Agent Orange, and notes the divisive public backlash they endured during the war. The resolution urges increased education about their service and calls for the President to formally acknowledge the mistreatment as part of the Vietnam War Commemoration. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or allocate funds.
