“We have an opportunity to focus on our history, on our struggles, on our triumphs, all of which have helped us and helped to shape us into the people who we are today. Most certainly as someone who has lived here in Grand Bahama all his life, I can think of no better way of celebrating our theme than to say in Grand Bahama, we’ve come this far by faith.
