🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 💙🤍❤️

Today, the Cambodian Association of South Carolina proudly joins our fellow Americans in celebrating 250 years of freedom, opportunity, and resilience.

As Cambodian Americans, many of our families came to this country seeking hope, safety, and a chance to build a better future. America opened its doors, and for that, we remain deeply grateful. This nation has allowed our community to preserve our rich Cambodian heritage while embracing the freedoms and opportunities that make the United States so extraordinary.

Today, we honor those who came before us, the brave men and women who have defended our freedoms, and the countless individuals who continue to strengthen our communities through service, compassion, and unity.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, may we continue to work together to build bridges between cultures, inspire the next generation, and uphold the values of liberty, equality, and respect for all.

From all of us at the Cambodian Association of South Carolina, we wish everyone a joyful and safe Independence Day.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
God Bless America, and may our communities continue to grow stronger together. 🇺🇸🇰🇭❤️

ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងសម្រាប់សហគមន៍ខ្មែររបស់យើងនៅរដ្ឋ South Carolina ម្តងទៀត។ 🤍

សេចក្តីសម្រេចរួមគ្នានេះបានអនុម័តជាផ្លូវការតាមរយៈសភាតំណាងរាស្ត្រ និងព្រឹទ្ធសភាទទួលស្គាល់វប្បធម៌ ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រ ភាពធន់ និងការរួមចំណែកដ៏សម្បូរបែបរបស់ជនជាតិអាមេរិកកាំងខ្មែរនៅក្នុងរដ្ឋរបស់យើង។

សម្រាប់មនុស្សជាច្រើន នេះអាចមើលទៅដូចជាឯកសារដែលមានស៊ុម ប៉ុន្តែសម្រាប់យើង វាតំណាងឱ្យជំនាន់នៃការលះបង់ ការរស់រានមានជីវិត ការកសាងឡើងវិញ ជំនឿ និងសហគមន៍។ វាមានន័យថាសំឡេងរបស់យើងកំពុងត្រូវបានឮ។ វាមានន័យថារឿងរ៉ាវរបស់យើងមានសារៈសំខាន់។

ខ្ញុំចង់ថ្លែងអំណរគុណយ៉ាងស្មោះស្ម័គ្រចំពោះសភាតំណាងរាស្ត្រ និងព្រឹទ្ធសភារដ្ឋ South Carolina ចំពោះការទទួលស្គាល់នេះ និងសូមថ្លែងអំណរគុណយ៉ាងពិសេសចំពោះលោក James Teeple តំណាងរដ្ឋសម្រាប់ការណែនាំសេចក្តីសម្រេចនេះ និងជឿជាក់លើសហគមន៍របស់យើងតាំងពីដើមដំបូងមក។

នេះគឺជាការទទួលស្គាល់ជាផ្លូវការលើកទី 4 សម្រាប់សហគមន៍ខ្មែរនៅរដ្ឋ South Carolina៖ • ទីក្រុង Wellford
•ខោនធី Spartanburg
• សេចក្តីប្រកាសរបស់អភិបាល
• សេចក្តីសម្រេចរបស់សភាតំណាងរាស្ត្រ និងព្រឹទ្ធសភា

យើងក៏ទើបតែទទួលបានព័ត៌មានថ្មីៗនេះថា ទីក្រុងមួយផ្សេងទៀតនឹងទទួលស្គាល់សហគមន៍របស់យើងក្នុងពេលឆាប់ៗនេះផងដែរ ជាមួយនឹងព័ត៌មានលម្អិតបន្ថែមទៀតនឹងមកដល់។

ការទទួលស្គាល់ទាំងនេះតំណាងឱ្យច្រើនជាងមួយភ្លែត។ ពួកវាឆ្លុះបញ្ចាំងពីភាពមើលឃើញ ការកោតសរសើរវប្បធម៌ សាមគ្គីភាព និងការរីកចម្រើនជាបន្តបន្ទាប់របស់សហគមន៍កម្ពុជារបស់យើងសម្រាប់មនុស្សជំនាន់ក្រោយ។

សូមអរគុណដល់អ្នកទាំងអស់គ្នាដែលបានគាំទ្រ តស៊ូមតិ និងឈរនៅជាមួយសហគមន៍របស់យើងពេញមួយដំណើរនេះ។ យើងរួមគ្នាបន្តបង្កើតប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រ។ 🇰🇭

History was made for our Cambodian community in South Carolina once again. 🇰🇭🤍

This concurrent resolution officially passed through the House of Representatives and Senate recognizes the rich culture, history, resilience, and contributions of Cambodian Americans in our state.

For many, this may just look like a framed document but for us, it represents generations of sacrifice, survival, rebuilding, faith, and community. It means our voices are being heard. It means our stories matter.

We want to sincerely thank the South Carolina House of Representatives and Senate for this recognition, and a very special thank you to State Representative James Teeple for introducing this resolution and believing in our community from the very beginning.

This marks the 4th official recognition for the Cambodian community in South Carolina:
•City of Wellford
•Spartanburg County
•Governor’s Proclamation
•The House of Representatives & Senate Resolution

We have also recently received news that another town will soon recognize our community as well, with more details to come.

These recognitions represent more than a moment. They reflect visibility, cultural appreciation, unity, and the continued growth of our Cambodian community for future generations.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, advocated, and stood alongside our community throughout this journey. Together, we continue making history. 🇰🇭

The Cambodian community has come so far. From families who arrived in America as refugees searching for peace and opportunity… to raising business owners, graduates, artists, leaders, and future generations right here in South Carolina.

Now it’s our turn to continue building that future together.

Voting is more than politics,
it’s about our families, our schools, our neighborhoods, our businesses, and making sure our community is seen and heard.

Every election matters.
Every voice matters.
Every vote matters.

The Cambodian Association of South Carolina encourages our community to:
✅ Register to vote
✅ Learn about local elections
✅ Encourage our youth to get involved
✅ Show up for our community

Many of our parents and elders sacrificed everything to give us opportunities they never had. Participating in our civic process is one way we honor those sacrifices and continue creating change for the next generation.

Let’s continue uplifting one another, supporting our community, and making history together. 🇰🇭✨

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA 🇺🇸🇰🇭

Today, we stand in a moment that will be remembered for generations.

For the first time in our state’s history, Cambodian Heritage Month has been officially recognized at the STATE LEVEL making South Carolina the 2nd state in the entire nation to achieve this honor.

This is not just a win for us here locally…This is a victory for every Cambodian in South Carolina, across the United States, and around the world.

We extend our deepest gratitude to State Representative James Teeple for believing in our vision, standing with our community, and helping make this historic milestone possible. Your leadership and support mean more than words can express.

We also want to honor and recognize the Cambodian Association of North Carolina for being the first in the nation to achieve this recognition and for paving the way for our community. Your leadership opened doors and inspired what is now becoming a powerful movement across states.

This moment is a reflection of unity, resilience, and the power of coming together with purpose. Through our strong partnership with Generations 4 America. we have built a bridge connecting culture, community, and leadership to elevate and honor our heritage on a level never seen before in our state.

We did this together.For our parents. For our children. For our future.

This is OUR history. This is OUR legacy. And this is only the beginning.

ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងនៅរដ្ឋ South Carolina 🇺🇸🇰🇭

ថ្ងៃនេះ យើងកំពុងឈរនៅក្នុងពេលវេលាមួយ ដែលនឹងត្រូវបានចងចាំអស់ជំនាន់ក្រោយៗ។

ជាលើកដំបូងក្នុងប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្ររដ្ឋនេះ ខែបេតិកភណ្ឌខ្មែរ ត្រូវបានទទួលស្គាល់ជាផ្លូវការនៅកម្រិតរដ្ឋ ដែលធ្វើឲ្យរដ្ឋ South Carolina ក្លាយជារដ្ឋទី ២ នៅទូទាំងប្រទេស ដែលទទួលបានកិត្តិយសនេះ។

នេះមិនមែនជាជ័យជំនះសម្រាប់យើងត្រឹមតែតំបន់នេះប៉ុណ្ណោះទេ…នេះជាជ័យជំនះសម្រាប់ជនជាតិខ្មែរទាំងអស់ នៅក្នុងរដ្ឋ South Carolina ទូទាំងសហរដ្ឋអាមេរិក និងជុំវិញពិភពលោក។

យើងសូមអរគុណយ៉ាងជ្រាលជ្រៅចំពោះតំណាងរដ្ឋ James Teeple ដែលបានជឿជាក់លើចក្ខុវិស័យរបស់យើង ឈរជាមួយសហគមន៍របស់យើង និងជួយធ្វើឲ្យព្រឹត្តិការណ៍ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រនេះកើតមានឡើង។ ការដឹកនាំ និងការគាំទ្ររបស់លោក មានន័យលើសពីពាក្យពេចន៍អាចពិពណ៌នា។

យើងក៏ចង់គោរព និងទទួលស្គាល់ Cambodian Association of North Carolina ដែលជាអង្គការដំបូងនៅក្នុងប្រទេសដែលទទួលបានការទទួលស្គាល់នេះ និងបានបើកផ្លូវសម្រាប់សហគមន៍របស់យើង។ ការដឹកនាំរបស់អ្នក បានបើកទ្វារ និងជំរុញឲ្យក្លាយជាចលនាដ៏មានអំណាចកំពុងកើតឡើងនៅតាមរដ្ឋផ្សេងៗ។

ពេលវេលានេះ ជាការឆ្លុះបញ្ចាំងពីភាពរួបរួម កម្លាំងចិត្ត និងអំណាចនៃការរួមគ្នាដោយមានគោលបំណង។ តាមរយៈការសហការដ៏រឹងមាំជាមួយ Generations 4 America យើងបានកសាងស្ពានភ្ជាប់វប្បធម៌ សហគមន៍ និងការដឹកនាំ ដើម្បីលើកកម្ពស់ និងគោរពបេតិកភណ្ឌរបស់យើង នៅកម្រិតដែលមិនធ្លាប់មានមុនមកនៅក្នុងរដ្ឋនេះ។

យើងបានធ្វើវាជាមួយគ្នា។ សម្រាប់ឪពុកម្តាយរបស់យើង។ សម្រាប់កូនៗរបស់យើង។ សម្រាប់អនាគតរបស់យើង។

នេះគឺជាប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្ររបស់យើង។ នេះគឺជាមរតករបស់យើង។ ហើយនេះគ្រាន់តែជាការចាប់ផ្តើមប៉ុណ្ណោះ។

On behalf of our Cambodian Association of South Carolina and our community, it is truly an honor for us to present this proclamation to you, Neak Kru Nikki, and the Robam Dance Team not just as recognition, but as something for you to keep… a symbol of the legacy you continue to build.

Neak Kru Nikki, you are more than a dancer, you are a teacher, a leader, and a true keeper of our culture. Through your guidance and dedication, you are shaping the next generation, making sure our traditions are not lost, but carried forward with pride.

You are the definition of preserving culture. Because of you, our history lives on not just in memory, but in every student you teach and every story you pass down.

You are the tie that connects our past to our future.

From all of us, thank you for everything you do for our community and our people.

Happy Cambodian Heritage Month.

During our Khmer New Year celebration, we made history.

We presented not one… but TWO proclamations to our community for Cambodian Heritage Month,
one from the City, and one from the County.

In the middle of celebrating our culture, our traditions, and our people… we were also being recognized.

For a community that has endured so much, this moment means everything.

This is for our elders who carried our culture through the darkest times…
and for our children who will carry it forward with pride.

This is what Cambodian Heritage Month is truly about honoring where we come from, celebrating how far we’ve come, and continuing to rise together.

Today… we made history. 🇰🇭

This moment didn’t come easy. It comes from generations of pain, survival, sacrifice, and strength. From our parents and elders who came here with nothing
but carried everything inside them… their culture, their stories, their resilience.

And today, because of that… we are finally being seen. We are finally being heard.

From the city… and now the county
we are making waves and making history.

On behalf of the Cambodian Association of South Carolina, we give our deepest gratitude to Mayor Rice, City Councilwoman Christie, and Lekesa. Thank you for standing with our community, for opening doors, and for recognizing a people whose story deserves to be honored.

To our team: we did it. We really did it.
Every long day, every sacrifice, every moment we pushed through… it was all worth it. This is history, and every one of you is a part of it. I’m so proud of us.

This is bigger than a proclamation.
This is legacy. This is healing.
This is for our ancestors… and for the generations that will never have to feel invisible again.

We made history, but this is only the beginning.

❤️🇰🇭
