   SCR 110, Hernandez. Korean War Remembrance Week.
   This measure would recognize the 4th calendar week of June in
2014, and each 4th calendar week in June thereafter, as Korean War
Remembrance Week.



   WHEREAS, 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; and

   WHEREAS, 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; and

   WHEREAS, 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, 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 and state reserve personnel; and
   WHEREAS, 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; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the fourth calendar week in June 2014, and
each fourth calendar week of June hereafter, is hereby designated and
commemorated as Korean War Remembrance Week; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
