The United States stands with the brave Cubans who are struggling make their nation democratic, prosperous, and just.
We have hope because we see a day coming when Cubans will have the freedom of which they have dreamed for centuries.
Today, after nearly a half-century of repression, Cuba still suffers under the personal despotism of Fidel and Raul Castro.
I do hereby proclaim May 22, 2008, as National Maritime Day.
