November 3rd is the Independence Day of the small Caribbean island known as Dominica in the Caribbean Region. Dominica, also known as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean celebrated it's 39th year of Independence under the leadership of the Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit, the prime minister of Dominica. Unfortunately for that small but passionate island, that is deeply routed in its Creole culture, Hurricane Maria passed through the island just a few months ago(September 18th to be exact), and literally wiped clean what was known as the Nature Isle! Devastation in the extent of 95% of the island itself was destroyed and there were no trees, fruits and normal living untouched by this category 5 hurricane. Two years prior, a tropical storm named Erica also swept through the beautiful island bringing destructive rainfall and flooding that literally changed the course of its look. Many persons died in these natural disasters but through it all the Dominica people remain strong and steadfast. Twice beaten but not defeated and as clearly seen here today, Dominica is still on its feet. Shaken? yes but still standing. So as we celebrate our 39th independence, may we remain strong and aim to push forward as we rebuild back our nation.
Dominica Independence Day takes place on November 3rd and on that day there's a big display of march styles in celebration of DOminica's Independence. This year, however, the march pass styles were dwindled due to what Hurricane Maria did to the island of Dominica leaving it for much rebuilding to take place. The Dominican people present still enjoyed the Independence March display at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium. The National Day Parade 2017 of Dominica was very much well represented by patriotic Dominicans from all over the country and world by extension. Below is the March Pass put on display so... do enjoy
