Mr. Speaker. I rise today to express my support for H. Res. 487. supporting the goals and ideals for Korean American Day. On January 13th. we will celebrate the 103rd Anniversary of Korean American Day. It was on that day. 103 years ago. that a boat carrying 102 Korean immigrants arrived in Hawaii. According to the 2000 census. there are now more than 1 million Korean Americans. Over that time. Korean Americans have made an untold number of contributions to American society. Whether in education. science. business. or the arts. Korean Americans have played and continue to play a vital role in shaping communities throughout New Jersey and the entire country.
