P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, for more than 50 years, our nation has observed National Hispanic
Heritage Month, celebrating how the spirit, energy, and leadership of
those who trace their family background to Spain and Latin American
countries has been woven into the strength and prosperity of America
since even before its founding; and,
WHEREAS, Hispanic Americans continue to embody the pioneering spirit of
America, starting U.S. businesses at a pace 15 times the national
average over the last decade; and,
WHEREAS, Florida benefits from the vibrant traditions, ancestry, and unique
experiences of Hispanic and Latino Americans, as generations have
served the Sunshine State as entrepreneurs, public servants, scholars
and artists; and,
WHEREAS, we are especially grateful for the 1.2 million Hispanic-American men
and women who have answered the call to serve in our Armed Forces,
demonstrating loyalty, bravery, and dedication to duty as they defend
liberty and advance democracy around the world; 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, together we recognize the Hispanic and Latino 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.
