HJR 25-1018 Colorado House · 2025 Regular Session

Latino & Latina Veterans

HJR 25-1018 is a Colorado legislative resolution recognizing the service of Latina and Latino veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It formally commends their contributions across military conflicts from the Revolutionary War through modern operations, highlighting historical units like the "Borinqueneers" and the American GI Forum. The resolution does not create new policies, benefits, or legal obligations - instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture of appreciation. A copy will be sent to the American GI Forum of Colorado, as specified in the resolution.

Additionally, the header information was updated to include session details and assembly information. No substantive policy changes regarding recognition criteria, funding, or eligibility were identified.
