Samoa) is highlighting Korean American Day (Jan. 13), which commemorates the day in 1903 that Korean immigrants arrived to become Americans, and celebrates today\u2019s Korean American community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI join our nation\u2019s Korean American community in celebrating this day,\u201d said Congresswoman Aumua Amata. \u201cIt\u2019s a joy to work with several Korean American colleagues in Congress, part of the diverse strength that represents all Americans in our nation\u2019s Capitol. The 1903 arrival of the first known Korean Americans correlates closely in time with American Samoa joining the United States (Tutuila in 1900 and Manu\u2019a in 1904). Together, we are blessed to be part of a great and free country, that works in close alliance with South Korea. It\u2019s wonderful to consider the importance of many Korean Americans to the U.S. in every possible field of business, government, military, arts, and music, contributing to the country\u2019s future and taking part in the American dream for generations. Thank you to our Korean American friends and neighbors as we celebrate this milestone with you. God bless you and God bless the United States.\u201d <em><strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p> <figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/2de8e31ff89d845b34afcb20d8dbeb62.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>The gala honoring the lifetime achievements of South Korean business leader Sunny K.
