           DIGEST  :    This resolution recognizes June 25, 2013, and every  
          June 25 thereafter as United States Korean War Veterans Day.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

           1. The Korean War was initiated by the North Korean People's  
             Army on June 25, 1950, at 4:30 a.m., when it crossed the 38th  
             Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea with 135,000  
             soldiers.

           2. Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America,  
             ordered the U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Division to be deployed  
             to South Korea to repulse the invaders.

           3. The men and women of the California National Guard, the U.S.  
             Army, the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air  
             Force, and the U.S. Coast Guard fought with valor, gallantry,  
             and distinction to rebuff and repel the North Korean invaders  
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                     ACR 63
                                                                     Page  
          2

             and their allies from the People's Republic of China.

           4. The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and the South  
             Korean Armed Forces were joined in fierce combat by many  
             allied nations under the banner of the North Atlantic Treaty  
             Organization.

           5. 33,686 members of the U.S. Armed Forces died in battle  
             during the 36 months the war raged, another 8,176 were  
             declared missing in action, and thousands more were wounded  
             by enemy fire, and some 2,611 Californians died in the fierce  
             fighting that was the Korean War.

           6. June 25, 2013, will mark the 60th anniversary of the  
             beginning of the Korean War and it is vital to recognize this  
             war and these warriors who stopped the spread of communist  
             aggression and communism into South Korea.

          This resolution recognizes June 25, 2013, and every June 25  
          thereafter as U.S. Korean War Veterans Day.
