S 4416 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Special Guerilla Unit National Memorial Act

S 4416 designates the existing memorial at Veterans Memorial Park in Middletown, Connecticut, as the "Special Guerilla Unit National Memorial" to honor Hmong veterans who served with the Special Guerrilla Unit (SGU) during the Vietnam War era. The bill recognizes the SGU’s role from 1961-1975, including the approximately 35,000 members who died in combat and their efforts in rescuing U.S. pilots. It clarifies the memorial is not part of the National Park System and will not require federal funding for maintenance or operations. The designation directly affects SGU veterans and their families by formally commemorating their service.
