Greetings:

As Governor of Texas, I am pleased to extend greetings to everyone in Attendance as you celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jamaica’s Independence.

When Jamaica achieved full independence on August 6, 1962, the face of The world was forever changed. Through the years, the United States and Jamaica have forged a close relationship. Those ties have carried over Between Texas and Jamaica. Jamaicans and Americans of Jamaican descent Have enriched Texas’ cultural landscape and their contributions to our great State have been invaluable.
