                Proclamation 8262 of May 29, 2008

                
Caribbean-American Heritage Month, 2008

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Caribbean-American Heritage Month is an opportunity to 
                show our appreciation for the many ways Caribbean 
                Americans have contributed to our country.

                Caribbean Americans have helped to shape our national 
                fabric with their vibrant traditions and their unique 
                history. They have brightened our lives with the spirit 
                and vitality of their culture. Through strong 
                leadership and pride in their heritage, they have 
                enriched America. In all walks of life, they have 
                contributed their many talents and added to our 
                Nation's development and prosperity.

                We especially show our gratitude for the men and women 
                of Caribbean descent who have served bravely in our 
                Armed Forces and those still serving today. These 
                heroes have answered a call greater than self, and we 
                keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

                During June, we celebrate and recognize the Caribbean 
                Americans whose determination and hard work have helped 
                make our country a better place.

                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 2008 as Caribbean-
                American Heritage Month. I encourage all Americans to 
                learn more about the history and culture of Caribbean 
                Americans and their contributions to our Nation.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-ninth day of May, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-second. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
