Whereas it is commonly overlooked that the Aleutian Islands are the only part of 
        American territory in history to be invaded and overtaken by an enemy;
Whereas during World War II, an Arkansas National Guard Regiment, the 206th 
        Coast Artillery, served diligently and bravely on Hog Island, Unalaska;
Whereas the 206th Coast Artillery Regiment of Arkansas was guarding Dutch Harbor 
        during the time of the Japanese attack;
Whereas during the Japanese invasion of Dutch Harbor, 3 young soldiers of the 
        206th Coast Artillery Unit were killed;
Whereas the city of Unalaska, Alaska, has passed Resolution 92-28, designating 
        the beach at 53 degrees 53 minutes 51 seconds north 166 degrees 34 
        minutes 15 seconds west to 53 degrees 53 minutes 48 seconds north 166 
        degrees 34 minutes 21 seconds west on Hog Island, Unalaska as ``Arkansas 
        Beach''; and
Whereas the State of Alaska has passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 37, as sent 
        to the State Geographic Board, which names this beach ``Arkansas 
        Beach'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the beach at 53 degrees 
53 minutes 51 seconds north, 166 degrees 34 minutes 15 seconds west to
