           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims January 13, 2010, as  
          Korean-American Day.

           ANALYSIS  :    

          This resolution makes the following legislative findings:

          1.On January 13, 1903, the history of Korean immigration to  
            America began as 102 courageous Korean men, women, and  
            children ventured across the Pacific Ocean aboard the  
            S.S. Gaelic to land in Hawaii.

          2.While the first Korean immigrants fought and sacrificed  
            to establish themselves in the United States, their  
            children grew up to be patriotic American citizens,  
            served in the Armed Forces of the United States during  
            World War II, and made other important contributions to  
            mainstream America.

                                                                Page  
          2

          3.Korean Americans have become an integral part of  
            mainstream American society and have made important  
            contributions as Californians in the fields of finance,  
            technology, law, medicine, education, sports, media, the  
            arts, the military, and government, as well as other  
            areas.

          4.As the Korean-American community prepares for a new era  
            and creates new history, Korean Americans must instill in  
            the upcoming generations an appreciation for and pride in  
            their own cultural heritage so that they may better  
            contribute to the great State of California.
