Pastor Victor Emilio Espinoza, retired Pastor of Philadelphia Evangelical Christian Church in Ecuador, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You knowing that You are our God, our King, and our Lord, the Creator of the heavens and earth and You hold us in the palm of Your hands.
We come humble before Your presence with gratitude asking You to hear our prayer. Because Your Word says, ‘a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. We are certain through faith in Jesus Christ that You are here.
Therefore, O Almighty God, we place under Your will all the tasks we are doing today. Furthermore, we ask You to give wisdom and guidance from up above to each one of the Representatives that will participate in the proposals and decisions in this place. May the statues and laws decreed in this House of Representatives benefit the residents of Michigan. We pray that these legislations go out in favor of the poor, the needed, the immigrant, and the economic and health issues concerning this great State. We ask You Lord You give them understanding to prioritize the problems of our society and continue to solve the pending issues that are still at hand.
Now members of the House of Representatives
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name we pray, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Howrylak, Inman, Lucido, Canfield, Robinson, Dianda, Wittenberg, Moss, Jones, Phelps, Geiss, Kahle, Howell, Kesto, VerHeulen, Crawford, Vaupel, Zemke, Chang, Brinks, Chirkun, Cochran, Elder, Greig, Hertel, Hughes, Kelly, Leutheuser, Maturen, Pagan, Rendon, Schor, Singh, Yaroch and Greimel offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 73.
A resolution to declare April 24-30, 2017, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, April 30, 2017, marks the 42nd anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the start of the eventual exodus of several million Vietnamese out of Vietnam after South Vietnam’s capital of Saigon fell to the communists on April 30, 1975; and
Whereas, For many Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans who were directly involved in the war and Vietnamese-Americans who have settled in the United States, the Vietnam War was a tragedy full of great suffering and the loss of American, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian lives; and
Whereas, Over 58,000 people were killed and 304,000 were wounded out of the 2.59 million Americans who served in the Vietnam War. One out of every ten Americans who served in Vietnam became a casualty of war; and
Whereas, South Vietnamese armed forces lost 275,000 soldiers and many more wounded along with an unknown number of Vietnamese civilian casualties; and
Whereas, During the American evacuation of Saigon, the first wave of Vietnamese refugees, 135,000 strong, mostly military officers and their families, took temporary shelter through several international refugee camps at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, and Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania; and
Whereas, Starting in 1977, and lasting through the mid-1980s, a second wave of Vietnamese refugees comprised mostly of “boat people” began leaving Vietnam. Seeing no future under communism, nearly 800,000 boat people risked their lives in small, dangerous boats to travel to resettlement camps in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines before eventually being resettled in the United States. The Red Cross estimated that during that time, at least 300,000 Vietnamese died on the high seas while trying to escape communism; and
Whereas, After 1985, a third wave of Vietnamese refugees came to the United States under the Orderly Departure Program. In 1988, Congress passed the Operation Homecoming Act, a program allowing approximately 80,000 Amerasian children (offspring of GI fathers and Vietnamese mothers) to come to America; and
Whereas, By 1990, the fourth wave of Vietnamese refugees began arriving in the United States under the Humanitarian Operation and today, more than 1.7 million Vietnamese immigrants reside in the United States; and
Whereas, Studies using census data show that foreign-born Vietnamese entering the United States in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, have seen an increase in terms of English proficiency, proportion of college graduates, the number of owner-occupied housing, family median income, and naturalization; and
Whereas, Over the years, Vietnamese immigrants have overcome social, economic, and language barriers of unforeseen magnitude to grow and become the most assimilated along civic dimensions of any large group in America; and
Whereas, Through emphasis on intense study, Vietnamese-Americans have reached the pinnacles of American success in a variety of fields including business and entrepreneurship, science and technology, space travel, medicine, the executive branch of the United States government, politics, the United States military, the United States judicial system, professional sports, and, most recently, cultural icon status in cooking, modeling, acting, and comedy; and
Whereas, In order to serve their community and prosper in America, Vietnamese Americans formed well-established and thriving Vietnamese-American commercial districts throughout the United States, including an enclave in southeast Oakland County and in west Michigan; and
Whereas, More than 17,000 Vietnamese now live in Michigan; and
Whereas, We must teach our children and future generations the important lessons from the Vietnam War, including how the plight of the Vietnamese refugees following the end of war serves as a powerful example of the values of freedom and democracy; and
Whereas, Refugees and immigrants from the former Republic of Vietnam who came to the United States and settled as free Vietnamese-Americans are honored and remembered for their sacrifices for freedom and human rights and for their ongoing contributions to our democratic society; and
Whereas, The Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom flag, which is yellow with three horizontal red stripes, is the only symbol that can unite most Vietnamese around the world and bring them together under the banner that symbolizes the aspiration for freedom and democracy in their homeland; and
Whereas, Although united in sorrow as they commemorate April 30, 2017, as Black April, an occasion to reflect on the sacrifices of the past, Vietnamese-American communities throughout Michigan consider Black April a memorial and remembrance of the resilience of the Vietnamese people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24-30, 2017, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize this as a special time for Michiganians to honor the tragedy of the suffering and countless lives lost during the Vietnam War era and to pay tribute to those lives lost by affecting human rights and freedom to the people of Vietnam.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
