take a moment and recognize the tremendous contributions of Hispanic 
Americans who have made our communities a great country.
  Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege of representing one of the most 
diverse congressional districts in the country. Our diversity has 
always been our strength, and Hispanic Americans are sewn into the very 
fabric of what makes our slice of Nevada special.
  To honor the history, culture, and contributions of Latinos to the 
United States, I am pleased to join my colleague from California, 
Congressman Tony Cardenas, as the original cosponsor of his resolution 
recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month.
  So, whether it is the innovative entrepreneurs who are starting 
businesses and creating jobs, the ambitious students studying to become 
tomorrow's leaders, or the brave men and women who serve our country in 
uniform, the story of Hispanic Americans is the story of all Americans.
