I am pleased to join Senator ALLEN as an original cosponsor in submitting a resolution recognizing the contributions of Korean Americans and encouraging the celebration of "Korean American Day." On January 13. 1903. a group of 102 men. women and children arrived on the shores of Honolulu. HI. after a long journey across the Pacific Ocean from Korea. The story of these pioneers is a familiar one to all of us who trace our roots to a foreign nation. Like countless other immigrant groups before them. Koreans came to America in search of a better future. Others came to flee a devastating war. repressive government. and poverty.
