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."

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."
