          DIGEST:  This resolution proclaims January 13, 2016, 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, when 102 courageous Korean men, women, and  
            children landed in Hawaii after venturing across the vast  
            Pacific Ocean aboard the S.S. Gaelic.

          2)While the first Korean immigrants to the United States fought  
            and sacrificed to establish themselves, their children grew up  
            to be patriotic citizens, many of whom went on to serve in the  
            Armed Forces of the United States during World War II and to  
            make other important contributions to mainstream American  
            society.

          3)As the Korean-American community prepares for a new era and  
            creates new history, Korean Americans must instill in younger  
            generations the proper appreciation for the courage and values  
            of their forefathers, a deep sense of their roots, and pride  
            in their own cultural heritage so that they may better  
            contribute to the great State of California, rich with ethnic
