ASSEMBLY FLOOR : Read and adopted. 4/11/13
SUBJECT : Korean War Armistice Day
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : Proclaims July 27, 2013, as Korean War Armistice Day,
and urges Californians to remember the Korean War and those who
fought against communism, and urges Governor Jerry Brown to

organizations, and individuals to fly the United States flag at

ANALYSIS : This resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1. The veterans who fought in the Korean War will never forget
their experiences fighting for freedom against communism and
neither will their families. These veterans paved the way
for the foundation of peace and freedom that so many enjoy
today.
2. In later years, while the Korean War would sometimes be
called "The Forgotten War," although more than 34,000
American lives were lost in combat, 92,000 were wounded, and

more than 8,000 were listed as missing in action or taken
prisoner, the members of the California Legislature have not
forgotten. We pay homage to the courage of our veterans who
fought in Korea and to those who died there or whose fate is
still unknown. We recall the grief of their families and the
gratitude of the people of South Korea.
3. It is fitting that all Californians should take time and
gather to observe the anniversary of the Korean War Armistice
Day and honor our veterans who so courageously protect
freedom.
This resolution urges Californians to observe the anniversary of
the Korean War Armistice Day, and hereby proclaims July 27,
2013, as Korean War Armistice Day, calling upon all Californians
to observe this with appropriate ceremonies and activities that
honor and give thanks to our distinguished Korean War veterans,
and urges Governor Jerry Brown to instruct all state
departments, agencies, interested groups, organizations, and
individuals to fly the United States flag at half-mast on July
27, 2013.
