Whereas, Korean Americans have enriched our nation by sharing their beautiful and unique culture; and,

Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population a large number of citizens of Korean descent, both those who have been a part of our state for generations and those who are new to our Great Lakes State; and,

Whereas, The cultural fabric of Michigan is made richer by the invaluable contributions Korean Americans have made throughout our state; and now therefore be it,

Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim January 13, 2008, Korean American Day.  I encourage all citizens to recognize and applaud the many contributions made by Korean Americans that enhance the quality of life in Michigan.
