STATE OBSERVANCES

     10.50 Ethnic American Day. 

    The first Sunday in June is designated Ethnic American Day, 
 in recognition of the diverse population of Minnesota, from the 
 Native Americans who were this land's first inhabitants to other 
 peoples from all parts of the world who also have contributed 
 their cultures, traditions, and values to their fellow 
 citizens.  The governor may take any action necessary to promote 
 and encourage the observance of Ethnic American Day.  The public 
 schools may offer instruction and programs to foster and 
 preserve ethnic cultures, traditions, and values.  

    HIST: 1990 c 405 s 1 

     10.51 Hunting Heritage Week. 

    The week beginning the third Monday in September is an 
 official week of observance to commemorate the state's valued 
 heritage of hunting game animals.  During this week, all 
 residents of the state are urged to: 

    (1) reflect on hunting as an expression of our culture and 
 heritage; 

    (2) acknowledge that it is our community of sportsmen, 
 sportswomen, and hunters who have made the greatest 
 contributions to the establishment of current game animal 
 populations; and 

    (3) celebrate this culture and heritage in all lawful ways. 

    HIST: 1Sp1995 c 1 s 1 

     10.55 Juneteenth. 

    June 19 is designated Juneteenth in recognition of the 
 historical pronouncement of the abolition of slavery on June 19, 
 1865, when the Emancipation Proclamation was said to have been 
 first publicly read in Texas.  The governor may take any action 
 necessary to promote and encourage the observance of Juneteenth 
 and public schools may offer instruction and programs on the 
 occasion. 

    HIST: 1996 c 390 s 10 

     10.56 Four Chaplains Day. 

    February 3 is designated Four Chaplains Day in honor of the 
 four United States army chaplains, George L. Fox, Alexander D. 
 Goode, Clark V. Poling, and John P. Washington, who sacrificed 
 their lives to save the lives of other service personnel while 
 serving on the U.S.S. Dorchester, a United States army troop 
 transport that was sunk off the coast of Greenland on February 
 3, 1943.  Each year the governor shall issue a proclamation of 
 this observance. 

    HIST: 1998 c 272 s 1 

     10.57 Mighty Eighth Air Force Week. 

    Beginning in 2000, the week of October 8 to 14 is 
 designated as Mighty Eighth Air Force Week in honor of the 
 Eighth Air Force, the largest military unit to serve in World 
 War II, whose heroic actions during the week of October 8 to 14, 
 1943, served as a turning point for daytime strategic bombing, 
 despite the loss of 26,000 persons killed in action, over 28,000 
 prisoners of war, uncounted persons missing in action, and over 
 100 heavy bombers.  Each year thereafter, until 2099, the 
 governor shall issue a proclamation honoring this observance. 

    HIST: 2000 c 414 s 1 

     10.58 Combat Wounded Veterans Purple Heart Day. 

    Beginning in 2001, the day of August 7 is designated as 
 Combat Wounded Veterans Day in honor of military veterans who 
 were wounded by enemy action while bravely serving their country 
 against enemy forces, and whose sacrifices have entitled them to 
 the Purple Heart decoration.  This decoration was created by 
 General George Washington, commander-in-chief of the 
 Revolutionary Army and a founder of our country, on August 7, 
 1782, and is the oldest military decoration in use in the 
 world.  Each year the governor shall issue a proclamation 
 honoring this observance and shall send a written copy to the 
 Minnesota department of the Military Order of the Purple Heart.
