Let me begin by giving thanks to Almighty God for all the blessing he has bestowed on this nation. Without Him, nothing can be achieved. With Him, all things are possible. And so we give God the glory.

Liberia is blessed, Ladies and Gentlemen! We can all thank God for all his blessings in our country, to bring us to where we are today. Despite decades of upheaval, including a 14-year civil war that tore apart this land, we have stepped back from the abyss and are doing all in our power to restore and make our nation whole. Now in our seventh year of uninterrupted peace, we are showing the world that Liberia can become a post-conflict success story.

We, Liberians, are a resilient lot, with an indomitable spirit. It is this strong will that has enabled us to survive as a nation and to today be celebrating our 163rd Independence Day.
