A New Year’s Day Message from Ambassador M. Nathaniel Barnes
January 1, 2009
My fellow Liberians, while we gather with friends and loved ones to celebrate this holiday season, I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of our President, Her Excellency Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Olubanke King-Akerele; my wife Dawn; the staff at the Liberian Embassy and in my own name; to wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

As we reflect on and give thanks for the past, let us focus, not only on resolutions to improve our personal lives, but on our beloved Liberia as well. Whatever adversity our nation has faced over the years, as we continue to heal in unity, we must not forget our compatriots both here in the United States and back home that may be less fortunate than ourselves. Let us be grateful for a peaceful Liberia, and mindful that we must never again allow our country to be consumed with war, self hatred and deprivation. Read
