Tribute to Belizean Patriots - September 12, 2013
Each September
Belizeans
from every
community in
our nation come
together to commemorate
and celebrate the historical
milestones that helped
to shape our Belizean
identity, our democratic
way of life and our Belizean
sovereignty. Our annual
traditions thus transform
September into a colourful,
exciting and festive time in
our country.
It is always a matter
of great satisfaction that in
the middle of the festivities
we take time out to
honour Belizean men and
women - past and present
- whose service to their
fellow Belizeans has been
exemplary.
Each of the honourees
tonight has, in their own
unique way, risen above
personal interest to serve
the people; to serve their
communities; and to serve
our nation with dedication
and self-sacrifice.
It is meet and right
that we pay tribute to them
as we enjoy our September.
