Gda: Flags at half-mast for President Reagan

Prime Minister Keith Mitchell has forwarded a message of condolence to President George Bush, on the passing for Former President Ronald Reagan.
...
On behalf of the Government and people of Grenada, and on my own behalf, I extend sincere condolences to the Government and people of the United States of America on the passing of Former President Ronald Reagan, a stalwart in the advancement of democracy.

During his tenure as President of the United States of America, his unique style of leadership blended skillful negotiation and unwavering principles with genuine sensitivity and concern for people, particularly the underprivileged and the oppressed. Moreover, his contribution to international peace and security left its mark, and he gained the admiration and respect of world leaders for the furtherance of his ideals for a just and free world. For this he will surely be remembered.

The people of Grenada, in particular, remember his decisive contribution to the return of democracy and the rule of law, when the anarchists had taken control and the tragic events of October 1983 were unfolding. The initiative by former President Reagan to subsequently provide scholarships for Grenadians to study in the USA has yet to be matched by any of his successors.

I also take this opportunity extend profound sympathy to his wife, a woman of tremendous courage and, certainly, a wealth of support in his achievements, as well as the other members of his family, at this time of sorrow.

Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.”

Office of the Prime Minister, June 7, 2004

Oh, yes!

Grenadians love and remember President Reagan very well.

Here's this also:

Cabinet has decided that all Government buildings will fly Grenada’s flag at half mast in tribute to Former President Ronald Reagan, who passed away on Saturday, June 5.

The Government is encouraging businesses and other local institutions to fly Grenada’s flag at half mast in honour of President Reagan, who ordered American military personnel into Grenada in October 1983, marking the beginning of the restoration of democracy.

Cabinet, on Monday, announced that Grenada will be represented at the State funeral of the late President by Governor General Sir Daniel Williams and Lady Williams, Minister of Communication, Works and Transport Dr. Clarice Modeste Curwen and former Governor General Sir Paul Scoon.

I've been hard put to find much if any mention of President Reagan's passing in the Caribbean newspapers.

Grenada knows what he did for them, and they will not forget or join those who vilify him.
