Fellow Citizens and Residents of Antigua and Barbuda
Happy Independence Day to you.
At 33, ours is still a young star in the galaxy of older nations that form our world.
Yet, already we have embedded in our society values and traditions that were achieved by others only after centuries of conflict, of protest, and of struggle.
It is adherence, to those traditions and values that have kept our country peaceful and that have maintained the inherent cohesion of our community.
