    Default Happy Birthday Namibia!!

    Namibia has turned 19! Please join us in celebrating this joyous day that brought freedom to us all and marked a new beginning for the world's youngest nation and the world's youngest democracy! Many challenges lie ahead, and 19 years is a young age for a nation. But many hurdles have been overcome, and if we all pull together in the spirit of peace, tolerance, respect and a common destiny and if we affirm and respect our Constitution we will overcome many more!!

    Happy Birthday Land Of The Brave



    A Nation's Strength

    What makes a nation's pillars high
    And it's foundations strong?
    What makes it mighty to defy
    The foes that round it throng?

    It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
    Go down in battle shock;
    Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
    Not on abiding rock.

    Is it the sword? Ask the red dust
    Of empires passed away;
    The blood has turned their stones to rust,
    Their glory to decay.

    And is it pride? Ah, that bright crown
    Has seemed to nations sweet;
    But God has struck its luster down
    In ashes at his feet.

    Not gold but only men can make
    A people great and strong;
    Men who for truth and honor's sake
    Stand fast and suffer long.

    Brave men who work while others sleep,
    Who dare while others fly...
    They build a nation's pillars deep
    And lift them to the sky.

    ...Ralph Waldo Emerson
