 And we got an amazing team, you know, my brother, a congressman, Espeyot has been a real voice and leader for the Dominican community for so many years, Dominican as a deputy mayor. Give it up. And she's leading council general. And each time we travel to Dominican Republic, something we did the first, immediately after the election, about your history in this city. Your history goes so far back in 1613 when Juan Rodriguez came here to New York. The first immigrant that ever came to this country from your region and became a major force and leader, from then to now, I was in strong, 900,000 strong. You propelled me to become the mayor of the city of New York, and I'll never forget you, I'll never forget this community and what you represent for me. And all the times, it doesn't matter if I'm in the Bronx, if I'm in Washington Heights, if I'm in Queens, no matter where I go, this community has made it clear there is no number two to Eric Adams. We are with Eric all the way, and I'm with you all the way, and I appreciate you so much. But I want you to do something for me. I'm going to need everybody for this, everyone for this. We just lost one of our heroes, Alexis Martinez, a police officer. When you think about his loss a few days ago, and then you think about those two powerful young Dominican men, officers Mora and Rivera, you think about the contribution they made to our city. So can we show their families some love by just having a moment of silence on their behalf? Thank you so much. And to all of my leaders who are here, all of my Dominican electors and leaders, and Assemblywoman Raj Kamal, who's an honorary Dominican, you know, to all of you, I thank you for your contribution. Our ancestors fought hard so we can get here. We owe it to them to leave a legacy that they left for us. That's my commitment to you, and I cannot say enough for this city to this amazing community. So Viva La Dominica, I love you, I appreciate you. What I have is yours, Mikasa, Sukasa. We will always be together no matter what. Let's look forward to our parade coming up. She was born Dominican Republic. She is an entrepreneur, property manager, and a restaurant manager. We are here to honor a couple of people, so let's give it up to them. Give it up for Rosa Garcia. Picture, please. Just grab it. Put that down. Put that down. Just stand right there. Our next honoree is Jaime Vargas. He's a sociologist and a people's advocate. He's a restaurateur, and he loves to educate Latinos in government. Get up for Jaime Vargas. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? He's a native New Yorker from the low east side like me. Where's Johnny? He began his career as a police and the police department, which says as a sergeant, Johnny became an influential manager for the group called Aventura and also Romeo Santos, the kings of Pachata. Give it up for Johnny Marines for this one. He is Henry Gonzalez. Henry was born in Moncaf in Dominican Republic. He is in the hospitality and music industry and also owns several restaurants throughout the five boroughs of New York. Give it up for Henry Gonzalez. The group was founded in D'Orembo now, Republic Dominicana by a couple of brothers. They have been highly recognized for over 30 years and created over 50 albums. Give it up for all of you. Can we do a group shot? Can we do a group shot with the honorees? Excuse me one second. The show is over, but I hope you keep moving your tail, drinking, eating and enjoying it. Again, my name is Denise Felipe Adams. I work for the administration of Eric Adams and I hope to see you again out there. Enjoy it and keep celebrating the heritage of the Dominican Republic. I love you all. Thank you for coming.
