E-Mail to the Editor

Dear Tribal Members,

We appreciate the recognition of American Indians by the President of the United States. The President’s proclamation honoring National American Indian Heritage Month, on Nov. 2, shows the world that we are here and will always be here.

The president, in his proclamation, paid tribute to the Veterans of the Revolutionary War to the Code Talkers of World War II all the way to our brothers today in the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition he encouraged all citizens to learn more about the rich heritage of Native Americans.

By working together the president said we can build a future of hope for all Native Americans. I very much believe that by Seminoles working together, we can accomplish the same.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida has been blessed. We are strong and getting stronger. We have seen many changes in the passed two years and all for the betterment of our people.

I want to thank President Bush for his Proclamation and want to remind him, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, are the Unconquered Seminoles. And…. we will continually forge ahead for a bright future.

Sincerely,
Mitchell Cypress, Chairman
Seminole Tribe of Florida

Dear Editor,

I would like to send a heartfelt thank you on behalf of my mother and I, and I’m sure many other residents of the Hollywood Estates Mobile Home Park, for the food and supplies provide by the Seminole Tribe of Florida after Hurricane Wilma.

The storm caused significant damage to the park and your help was very much needed and appreciated.

Thank you again,
Cynthia and Lois Marano

Dear Editor,

I just wanted to drop you a short note of thanks as an alumni of Florida State University for your formal support for our school’s use of your namesake. My appreciation for your history and culture truly has been raised by my experience at FSU. I am proud to be a “Seminole” at heart, and your support of our school is a true blessing.
