Thank you Grandpa, Great-Grandpa and Great-Great-Grandpa.
It fills our hearts to honor your pioneering sacrifices and tremendous accomplishments. Yours is a history from the bottom up and it speaks to the thousands of you who helped build the Panama Canal. Many died in landslide and explosion doing the dirty work no one else wanted to do -or could do as a matter of fact. You made the journey to Panama from the impoverish islands of the Caribbean simply for a fresh start from the continued hard life you suffered; and moreover, to provide for a better life for your children and their children.
We are proud to report that your children and grandchildren are doing fine. we are not yet where we would like to be, but on a whole live is much better for us. It has been a very slow Emancipation.
HAPPY CENTENIAL CELEBRATION!
By the way, we also wish a HAPPY EMANCIPATION DAY (August 1, 2014) to your ancestors!
