In 2003, President George W. Bush proclaimed a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Korean immigrants. In 2005, the U.S. House and Senate passed simple resolutions in support of Korean American Day.
Since then, states across the country have passed bills declaring January 13th as an annual celebration of Korean American Day.
