           SUBJECT  :    Korean War Remembrance Week

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution recognizes the fourth calendar week  
          of June in 2014, and each fourth calendar week in June  
          thereafter, as Korean War Remembrance Week.

           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.Thirty-three thousand six hundred eighty-six members of the  
            United States 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.

          3.Each June 25th is known in the State of California, its  
            counties, and its cities as United States Korean War Veterans  
            Day in formal recognition by this state of the patriotism,  
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                    SCR 110
                                                                     Page

            valor, fidelity, and sacrifices of the members of the  
            California National Guard, the United States Army, the United  
            States Marines, the United States Navy, the United States  
            Coast Guard, and federal and state reserve personnel.

          4.It is essential to aid in any way the men and women who served  
            and died or were wounded or incapacitated during the Korean  
            War, and perpetuate the memory of those whose lives were  
            sacrificed in our wars.

          This resolution recognizes the fourth calendar week of June in  
          2014, and each fourth calendar week in June thereafter, as  
          Korean War Remembrance Week.
