Doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be a Caribbean country to have an occasion to honour designated ‘heroes’ and hold events around that occasion.

Great energy for the island. We are very much influenced by our Caribbean heritage so let’s show it. If this is the way we choose to celebrate Heroes Weekend by having a great time sharing laughs, music, and various forms of comradery then I must say that our Heroes would probably give a closed mouth smile knowing that their fight has allowed us to express ourselves in any way we want!!!

National Heroes Day is a day that is set aside in Caribbean islands to reflect, honor and celebrate those who have committed acts of bravery or offered exemplary service to their nation.
Unlike the Caribbean, our Heroes in Bermuda were not recognized due to the fact that the powers that be labeled them to be antagonist and trouble makers. Being that most islands in the Caribbean are Independent it gave more credence to those who fought against Colonial rule which solidified their status as Heroes, while here in Bermuda the powers that be solidified the colony mentality, therefore numbing the people into submission of not recognizing those who fought against the Oligarchy.
So when we finally woke up and recognized that we have Heroes in Bermuda and refused to look at them as antagonist and trouble makers (well all depends who you ask in Bermuda), we now acknowledge them, but for some reason someone feels having a carnival atmosphere (which is celebrated in the Caribbean during their Holiday) will enhance the occasion , but hopefully it will not over shadow our Heroes, which one will have to wonder. Mmmmm
