The evening's keynote speaker was Brigadier General Mr. Hector E. Pagan. Gen. Pagan said, in
part "... Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a moment to pause, reflect, honor and celebrate all
those great examples of leadership Latinos have given - and continue to give- our nation; a
nation that is made stronger by the beautiful tapestry of cultures and ethnic groups, who have
found in our soil a land of solace, tolerance, openness and opportunity. ...We are honored by
your sacrifice and love for our country. We serve in an army of volunteers and I am proud of the
fact that many in our community elect to serve."

Mr. Paul Chehade, President of Solidary Foundation and a Senior Advisor to LULAC
International Embassy, said, "... The importance of working together is to maintain our national
security and to recognize the United States Army's efforts in its readiness to assist the affected

LULAC Ambassador Roberto Canino emphasized, in part, that, .."It is the soldier, who salutes
the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, that we pay tribute
tonight, together with our Hispanic Leaders in support of our military." We Hispanics have
always defended America with unwavering valor and honor, Canino said. He added, "..Were it
not for the brave, there would be no land of the free, therefore, it is important for our community
leaders to support our military and to promote and maintain the democratic principles of this
country."

God Bless America
