An honorary title for Gloria Estefan
During the ‘Fleet Week’ event in Miami, which brought together thousands of members of the U.S. Navy and celebrated the contribution of all its members to the nation, Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, announced that Gloria Estefan has been designated as the sponsor of the new nuclear submarine USS Miami. This appointment represents an important milestone in the career of the artist, who expressed her excitement on social networks at this significant recognition. ‘What a tremendous honor to be named sponsor of the new USS Miami submarine! Thank you Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, for this incredible surprise. Let the tradition and the party continue!’, stated the singer.
An honorary title of great impact
Although the title of sponsor is honorary and does not imply any financial commitment on the part of the vocalist, it represents a special connection between Gloria Estefan and the new nuclear submarine USS Miami. This appointment provides Estefan with the unique opportunity to participate in ceremonies and events related to the ship, serving as an ambassador not only for the Miami community, but also for the Cuban diaspora in the United States. It is a recognition that goes beyond the symbolic, allowing Estefan to become involved in a significant aspect of naval life in the country where she grew up, and thus be able to honor the service of members of the U.S. Navy.
A recognition beyond music
Around 1,500 sailors and marines had the privilege of enjoying Gloria Estefan’s performances and music, thus strengthening the bond between the community and the armed forces in an event full of emotion and gratitude. ‘We are very grateful as citizens of this great country for having you all there protecting us and serving us,’ said the singer. These words highlight the deep pride she feels in representing her community in such a significant role.
