Hillary Clinton Says "Happy Independence Day Haiti"

A lot of us Haitians are so busy drinking our Soup Joumou that we sometimes forget that January 1 is also Haiti's Independence Day... US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not forget...

I don't know if she celebrated our Haitian Independence Day with the commemorative Soup Joumou - The Haitian Soup Of FREEDOM but She did take to time to wish Haiti a Happy Birthday!

Here is an official Press Statement from Hillary Clinton...

From Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State, Washington, DC
January 1, 2012

On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I am delighted to congratulate the people of Haiti as you celebrate the 208th anniversary of your independence this January 1.

The story of Haitian independence is one of courage and resilience. The victory by L’Ouverture and others was an achievement by all Haitians, and it became a source of inspiration and pride in the Americas and around the world. Today, as you continue to rebuild from the earthquake of January 12, 2010 and give more Haitians the opportunity to realize their potential, we are reminded of this proud history of strength and unity. Time and again the people of Haiti have stood up against difficult odds to build a better future.

As you celebrate this special day with family, friends and loved ones, know that the United States is committed to your future as we work together to fulfill the promise of Haitian independence. Happy Independence Day and best wishes for a new year filled with peace and prosperity.

Awwwww... Isn't that sweet...

Thanks Hillary... On behalf of President Martelly (well... Unofficially! LOL)

QUESTION: What is your opinion about the letter by Secretary of State to the people of Haiti?
