The Virgin Islands (VI) was struck by Hurricane Irma on Wednesday, September 6, 2017, causing widespread destruction, and the loss of four lives.
In a statement, Premier Wheatley said, “I invite you to reflect on the invaluable lessons Irma taught us about the power of community in times of adversity.”
He also called on the people to thank God for granting them the ability to rebuild their lives and country.
Premier Wheatley said those lost due to Irma will be remembered as the VI continues to honour the “journey of resilience and unity”.
