The Montagnards are an indigenous tribespeople of the central highlands of Vietnam. and during the Vietnam war. it was the Montagnards who were trained by the CIA and Special Operations Forces to fight alongside our troops against the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. At their own great risk. the Montagnards provided critical intelligence support to our troops on the ground. no doubt saving countless American lives. After the war. the United States took in hundreds of Montagnards into our country as refugees because of the severe persecution they faced from the Vietnamese Government for that very reason. While this indeed is a long overdue recognition. I will be submitting later this week a Senate resolution recognizing their service and sacrifice.
