U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy (WI-07) introduced H. Res. 596 in the House of Representatives this week. The resolution recognizes the service of Kmer and Hmong "Freedom Fighters" who fought alongside, supported, and defended U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. Upon introduction of the resolution, Rep. Duffy offered:

"The Hmong and Khmer fought shoulder to shoulder with U.S. troops during the Vietnam War. These Veterans rescued United States pilots shot down in enemy-controlled territory and returned them to safety, provided intelligence, captured and destroyed enemy supply lines, and provided food and shelter to U.S. Armed Forces.
