What is honour? It is something that cannot be bought, sold, traded, or handed to one of the boys, but must be gained through the respect of your peers and the people in general. In some cases honour is displayed through feats of heroism in time of war, in other places there are honour killings of women who supposedly disgraced their families.\u00a0 The Bible tells of women being stoned to death for dishonouring their husbands and people still commit suicide due to loss of face.\u00a0 Honour is no small thing in the world from centuries back. Independence Day is our day of honour when locals are honoured for their work and the police and other groups honour with their salutes and their marching band. Whoever that person is who takes the salute of honour must be respected and accepted as honourable\u00a0 or the thing becomes a Ho, Ho, Ho Noh matter.<\/p>\n<p>That is why I have a problem with Mr. Skerrit when he implies that the presidency is really nothing much so\u00a0 what is the fuss about Savarin being appointed to the post.\u00a0 There are those who will hasten to dilute for\u00a0 mostly\u00a0 political reasons and say that it is not the person that matters but that the salute is for the land or the day or whatever else.\u00a0 We do honour to our land by respecting our National Anthem\u00a0 and not \u2018 beff-in\u2019 and disregarding as many of us do when it is played.\u00a0 We honour our land by protecting our environment and sustaining our rivers, and other natural resources, but what we do on Independence Day is honour and salute the President who represents the\u00a0 shape, soul and unifying force of our nation which is the sum total of everything.\u00a0 Most importantly we honour the President as the guardian of\u00a0 the law which sets up the system of government &#8211; the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>However Savarin is under a cloud of being unconstitutionally appointed and his friends may rush to his defence and say this is just politics.\u00a0 Yet no matter how you\u00a0 tap dance around it the fact is that whoever stands on the platform to take the salute must be honoured and respected by the people.\u00a0 That is where this year is different because for the first time in 34 years the holder of the office of President is deemed by the majority of the people to be definitely un-honoured, un-respected and unworthy of such a post.<\/p>\n<p>If you believe that it does not matter if the President is worthy of your respect Charles\u00a0 then all I have written is of little import, but if you think otherwise and still do him honour then you have surrendered to wounding and slandering yourself and that is damaging to you, the youth and our Isle of beauty.\u00a0 Perhaps when we sing the lines of the National Anthem we do not truly consider them.\u00a0 Some lines\u00a0 bear repeating here:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Come ye forward Sons and Daughters of this gem beyond compare<br \/>\nStrive for HONOUR\u2026..do the RIGHT, be FIRM, be FAIR\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a great night with no real sign of any rain as more than 10,000 gathered in the Windsor Park packing the temporary stands and grounds to be part of the most important moment in our nation\u2019s history- when&#8230;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary","category-just-dennis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>JUST DENNIS: Independence Day - Day of Honour - Dominica News Online<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/homepage\/features\/commentary\/just-dennis-independence-day-day-honour\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"JUST DENNIS: Independence Day - Day of Honour - Dominica News Online\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It was a great night with no real sign of any rain as more than 10,000 gathered in the Windsor Park packing the temporary stands and grounds to be part of the most important moment in our nation\u2019s history- when...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/homepage\/features\/commentary\/just-dennis-independence-day-day-honour\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dominica News Online\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-11-01T16:50:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-12-29T17:17:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Dennis-TDN.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"193\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"290\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dominicanewsonline.com\\\/news\\\/homepage\\\/features\\\/commentary\\\/just-dennis-independence-day-day-honour\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dominicanewsonline.com\\\/news\\\/homepage\\\/features\\\/commentary\\\/just-dennis-independence-day-day-honour\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dominicanewsonline.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/51a62154b494e84510be75e846b1cf55\"},\"headline\":\"JUST DENNIS: Independence Day &#8211;
