I am pleased to bring to the attention of my colleagues an event in San Francisco to honor two outstanding Korean Americans. Olympic diving champion Dr. Sammy Lee and U.S. Army war hero Col. Young Kim. These fine gentlemen will be honored by the Korean Community Service Center on November 13 at a "Celebration of Korean American Contributions to American History." Colonel Kim and Dr. Lee are two of the most distinguished yet unsung heroes of the secondgeneration. Americanborn Koreans who are also the products of the pioneering. firstgeneration immigrant Korean Americans at the beginning of this century. Dr. Sammy Lee. 63. is the first double Olympic gold medalist in diving1948 London and 1952 Helsinki games.
