My Dominican friends, I want you to know first and foremost that I am forever indebted to the Dominican community for taking in the the the Jewish refugees during World War two as the Dominican Republic did. Again, I am forever indebted to the community because of that. We know that many of our greatest sports stars here in the United States come from the Dominican Republic and of course we all know Morangue, the most popular Hispanic dance, was originated in the Dominican. You've gone through a lot of colonialism since your beginnings and you've survived throughout. The first land that Columbus settled upon was in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic gained its independence from the US in 1924. Santa Domingo was the first capital of the Americas. In the Americas, the first cathedral, the first university, the first hospital came from the Dominican. I know that many things are important to you, including your faith, family, economic development. These things are important to me as well and I want to see these things grow within the Dominican American community and not just in South Florida but all around the United States. I want to be a partner with you to make these things happen. So please help me do these initiatives and I thank you so much for listening to me today.
