Roots & Culture By Simone Myrie about an hour ago. This celebration of Jamaica’s Independence calls us all to reflect on the past 52nd years, and to visionary contemplation of the years ahead, thousands of Jamaicans and their descendants have played an outstanding role in the development of our society and economy, often under conditions of severe hardship and discomfort. What is particularly worthy of recalling with pride is the fact that Jamaica has remained embedded within your heart and your soul, and you have continued to support the homeland with a generous spirit, strongly committed to our country’s development. You have risen above divisiveness and have always sought to put Jamaica first. I am sure that your sense of national unity will be even more evident during the Olympic Games as our athletes seek, once again, to impress the world. There are many challenges facing us at this time, but we are confronting them with the courage, determination and the discipline necessary to regain the confidence and achieve the level of development desired for the peace and prosperity of the nation. I sense a greater feeling of hope among our people and a willingness to invest in the future - especially for the advancement of the younger generations. We will continue to need your prayers, your involvement your active support. May the courage, patriotism and the vision of our National Heroes and National Heroine inspire us to greater levels of achievement as we pursue our mission to make Jamaica the country of choice to live, work, raise families, do business and retire. As you join us in the celebration of this 52nd year of nationhood, I pray God’s blessings on us all and on Jamaica land we love.
