Today, I was so incredibly proud to have with me on the House Floor, Lue Yang, President of the Hmong Family Association, and Hmong veteran and President of the Michigan SGU Veterans and Families, Chong Cher Xiong.

Fifty-one years ago, on May 14, 1975, the U.S. withdrew from Laos, and the Hmong, who had bravely fought alongside our military, were forced to flee their homeland.

Chong Cher Xiong was just a 12-year-old boy when he was recruited by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to aid American soldiers during the Vietnam War-era and Secret War in Laos.

Lue Yang’s parents brought him to the United States as a toddler, his father served America, too, so his family was forced to flee in order to escape persecution.

They’ve made Michigan their home for over 4 decades. Their stories of service, sacrifice, and survival are not just family history —they are part of America’s history.

I want to sincerely thank all of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle for supporting House Resolution 316 to declare May 14, 2026, as Hmong Special Guerrilla Units Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.

Today, and everyday, we thank the Hmong veterans and their families for their commitment to safeguarding America’s freedoms.

With deep gratitude to Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Asian Pacific Islander American Vote Michigan for inviting our community to share the beauty of Hmong culture during the celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month at the Michigan State Capitol on May 14, 2026. 💙💚

We are honored to have FusionSound Ent Tou NyiajHwm Vue and Ntxhais Tshiab Ci representing our community with a special cultural dance performance on the Capitol lawn.

🗓 Thursday, May 14, 2026
📍 Michigan State Capitol Lawn
⏰ Registered Event Check-In & Cultural
🌺 Performances: 9:30–10:30 AM

The Capitol lawn performances are open to the public, and welcome everyone to come celebrate with us.

May 14 holds deep meaning for Hmong families across the nation as we commemorate the 1975 Fall of Long Cheng, marking the final airlift evacuation of Hmong allies from Laos following the Secret War and the end of the Vietnam War.

The first Hmong families arrived in Michigan in 1976 as refugees. Nearly 50 years later, Hmong Americans continue helping shape Michigan through the automotive industry, growing businesses, education, healthcare, public service, community leadership, and the preservation of cultural traditions — building a lasting legacy of resilience for future generations across our state.

We welcome all to join the Hmong Family Association team from 3–7 PM at the Lansing Shuffle 325 Riverfront Dr Lansing, Mi 48912 for Hmong American Day — an afternoon of community conversations, storytelling, culture, and connection. Enjoy Lalafish's special Hmong-inspired menu while connecting with community leaders, families, and friends as we celebrate the strength, resilience, and lasting legacy of the Hmong community. ❤️

Together, we celebrate heritage, resilience, and the power of community.
