                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.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
