Happy Independence anniversary

Fireworks at Woodford Square - 31 August 2012 - celebrating 50 years of independence

Fifty years ago as a young teenager I celebrated the birth of a new Trinidad & Tobago. I joined others in making a pledge, which I renew today:

O land of fairest beauty
We pledge our lives to duty
And vow this day
And vow this day
And vow this day to serve thee.

Jai Parasram

National Anthem

Forged from the love of liberty,
In the fires of hope and prayer,
With boundless faith in our Destiny,
We solemnly declare,
Side by side we stand,
Islands of the blue Caribbean Sea,
This our Native Land,
We pledge our lives to Thee,
Here every creed and race finds an equal place,
And may God bless our Nation,
Here every creed and race finds an equal place,
And may God bless our Nation.
