I have just seen the Cadet Corp partake in the St Lucia independence celebrations and they were absolutely amazing. By the way, these aren’t my words, these are the words of every St Lucian and I’m just supporting their statement.
Today, I was truly proud to be a Dominican. Well done to the Dominican Cadet Corp. St Lucians said themselves, why can’t we have a band like that Dominican band.
Need I say anymore.
BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
Your Chaplain!
I have no doubt you will continue to make us proud. Keep the Dominica Flag flying.
Our prayers and support are with you always.
