  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Clarence Dunkley as a 
Distinguished Leader in Central Florida for Caribbean Heritage Month. 
Originally from Jamaica, Clarence Dunkley has proudly called America 
home for more than 32 years. Throughout those years, he has dedicated 
his life not only to the construction industry, but also to uplifting 
others through humanitarian service and community leadership.
  Clarence is widely respected for his generosity, compassion, and 
commitment to giving back. Through his nonprofit organization, he has 
helped provide housing and support for veterans, ensuring those who 
served our country are not forgotten. His impact reaches far beyond his 
profession, as he continually works to strengthen and support the 
community around him.
  Despite building a successful life in the United States, Clarence has 
never forgotten his roots. He frequently returns to Jamaica to give 
back to communities in need, reflecting his deep passion for 
humanitarian work and his dedication to helping others both locally and 
internationally
  Clarence Dunkley exemplifies the spirit of Caribbean Heritage Month 
through his leadership, service, cultural pride, and unwavering 
commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
