Summary
Senators observed a time‑certain tribute and passed House Concurrent Resolution 6 recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. Multiple members recounted personal memories; a video tribute and moment of silence were part of the ceremony. The resolution passed unanimously.
Under a time‑certain on Feb. 26 the Utah Senate considered House Concurrent Resolution 6, recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of the Vietnam War and honoring those who served.
Senator Jenkins introduced the resolution and invited veterans and representatives into the chamber. Multiple senators — including Jenkins, Jones and Dayton — offered personal recollections about the war, the reception of returning veterans, and the long‑term impact of post‑traumatic stress on families. The body observed a short video tribute and a moment of silence to honor the fallen and recognize service members present in the gallery.
The resolution passed unanimously (29 yeas, 0 nays). Senators also thanked Terry Scow of the Governor's Office of Veteran Affairs, who was recognized during the proceedings for his service and for leading statewide efforts on veterans' issues.
The session returned to regular business after the tribute and the Senate adjourned for the weekend.
