Good day and GOD’s BLESSINGS to all the people of the Virgin Islands.
As we reflect on where we are today as a country and as a people, we must say that over the last 13 months we have indeed come a long way, navigating our way through the unseen and unknown realities of the global pandemic, and we are still here standing strong together.
Over the years, we may have lost loved ones along the way, but their memories live on in our hearts.
COVID-19 is still present, but the Grace of God is ever present.
