Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate California's Sikh
American Awareness and Appreciation Month and to recognize the
contributions that Sikh Americans have made not only in California, but
throughout the country. This community originally came from Punjab, India, like other
immigrant groups from all over the world, to have a better life for
themselves and for their children. In 1910, the Sikhs had become a cornerstone in California
agriculture's Sacramento, Imperial, and San Joaquin Valleys. In
addition to sharing the rich culture and the contributions that they
have made to our economy, they are farmers, businessowners, physicians,
and in all walks of life.
