WHEREAS, since 1968, our nation has held an annual celebration of Hispanic
Heritage, recognizing how the spirit, energy, and leadership of those
who trace their ancestry to Spain and Latin American countries have
been woven into the strength and prosperity of America since even
before its founding; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic Americans have answered the call to serve in every one of our
nation’s wars beginning with the Revolutionary War, demonstrating
loyalty, bravery, and dedication to duty as they defend liberty and
advance democracy around the world; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic Americans continue to embody the pioneering spirit of
America, responsible for starting half of all new U.S. businesses over
the last decade; and
WHEREAS, accomplishments made by Hispanic Americans serve as an inspiration to
all who seek freedom, opportunity, and a new beginning for themselves
and their children; and
WHEREAS, Florida has long benefited from the vibrant traditions, ancestry, and
unique experiences of Hispanic Americans, as generations have served
the Sunshine State as entrepreneurs, public servants, scholars, and
artists; and
WHEREAS, together we recognize the Hispanic citizens of Collier County, whose
love of family, strong work ethic, and willingness to share their
heritage and traditions have made our county a better place to live;
