           SUMMARY  :   Recognizes the 4th calendar week of June 2014, and  
          each 4th calendar week in June thereafter, as Korean War  
          Remembrance Week. Specifically,  this resolution  makes the  
          following legislative findings:

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

          2)The men and women of the United States 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; and, 33,686 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 as Korean  
            War Veterans Day in formal recognition by this state of the  
            patriotism, 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, the United States Air Force, and federal
