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 ACR 3 Page 2 other important contributions to mainstream America. 3.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.
