This milestone presents us with an opportunity to celebrate the incredible contributions that small businesses have made to this great Nation.
Since the founding of our country, small businesses have contributed immeasurably to our progress and economic strength. Small business is an enduring symbol of the American Dream.
For the last 50 years, the SBA has played a vital role in ensuring that the door to the American Dream is truly open to all entrepreneurs, because the dream should never be limited by access to capital, information or training. In America, an entrepreneur’s only limit should be his or her own ideas and desire to succeed.
Please join me in celebrating America’s small businesses, and the SBA’s commitment to help entrepreneurs keep that American Dream alive and well for today, and for future generations.
