PROCLAMATION 8028--JUNE 5, 2006
Proclamation 8028 of June 5, 2006
Caribbean-American Heritage Month, 2006
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
During Caribbean-American Heritage Month, we celebrate the great
contributions of Caribbean Americans to the fabric of our Nation, and we
pay tribute to the common culture and bonds of friendship that unite the
United States and the Caribbean countries.
Our Nation has thrived as a country of immigrants, and we are more
vibrant and hopeful because of the talent, faith, and values of
Caribbean Americans. For centuries, Caribbean Americans have enriched
our society and added to the strength of America. They have been leaders
in government, sports, entertainment, the arts, and many other fields.
During the month of June, we also honor the friendship between the
United States and the Caribbean countries. We are united by our common
values and shared history, and I join all Americans in celebrating the
rich Caribbean heritage and the many ways in which Caribbean Americans
have helped shape this Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2006 as Caribbean-
American Heritage Month. I encourage all Americans to learn more about
the history of Caribbean Americans and their contributions to our
Nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of June,
in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
