Concurrent Resolution
Whereas there are currently more than 57,900,000 individuals of
German heritage residing in the United States, who comprise
nearly 25 percent of the population of the United States and
are therefore the largest ethnic group in the United States;
Whereas those of German heritage are not merely descendants
of one political entity, but of all German speaking areas;
Whereas numerous Americans of German heritage have made
countless contributions to American culture, arts, and industry,
the American military, and American government;
Whereas there is no recognized tangible, national symbol dedicated
to German Americans and their positive contributions to the

the American Founding Fathers, because he was a freedom fighter
who united ancient German tribes in order to shed the yoke
of Roman tyranny and preserve freedom for the territory of
present-day Germany;
Whereas the Hermann Monument located in Hermann Heights
Park in New Ulm, Minnesota, was dedicated in 1897 in honor
of the spirit of freedom and later dedicated to all German
immigrants who settled in New Ulm and elsewhere in the United
States; and
Whereas the Hermann Monument has been recognized as a site
of special historical significance by the United States Government,
by placement on the National Register of Historic Places: Now,
