The German American National Congress (D.A.N.K.) and it's chapters mounted the first national campaign in 1987 urging all German Americans, their organizations and friends, to write or phone their senators and congressmen, and ask them to vote for the Joint Congressional Resolution establishing German American Day. Altogether, D.A.N.K. alone effected about 18,000+ mailings, in addition to the thousands of telephone calls and personal contacts. Then the U.S. Congress passed the resolution August 18, 1987.
