Honoring Minnesota’s Hmong Veterans: A Step Toward Justice and Recognition

Minnesota is taking historic steps to recognize the Hmong veterans who fought alongside the CIA during the Secret War in Laos, a cause that aligns closely with Ross Nova’s leadership agenda. Nova emphasizes the importance of honoring all veterans who have sacrificed for our country and ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve.

More than 1,000 Hmong men who served in special guerrilla units are still living in Minnesota. These veterans fought bravely for nearly 15 years, yet many have not received the recognition or benefits afforded to other veterans. Ross Nova sees this as a critical issue of accountability and respect for those who risked their lives.

The Minnesota Legislature is advancing bills to provide these veterans with partial benefits, including burial privileges at state veterans cemeteries and preference in state hiring. Nova supports these measures as essential steps toward justice and community healing.

Ross Nova understands that public safety extends beyond law enforcement to include supporting veterans who have protected our freedoms. By ensuring these Hmong veterans receive proper recognition, Minnesota strengthens its commitment to all who serve.

This legislative progress reflects years of advocacy and sacrifice by the Hmong community. Nova believes that honoring these veterans is not only a moral imperative but also a way to build stronger, more inclusive communities across Minnesota.

As Minnesota moves closer to passing these bills, Ross Nova calls on voters to support leadership that values accountability, public safety, and respect for every veteran’s service. Together, Minnesotans can ensure no hero is left behind.
