Honoring the Covenant…41 years later

Posted on Mar 24 2017

For over four decades, the Covenant has been our sacred agreement with the United States.

Through the years, it has paved the way for great accomplishments to come to our people and our islands. It has also allowed us to grow and adapt with the changes that have come our way. All in all, it has stood as the object that helps us to chart the course of our Commonwealth, and something we are proud to uphold through the oaths we took for the offices we hold.

Today, take a moment to remember the sacrifices and work put in to create what created our present day CNMI. Honor the framers and drafters of the articles that shaped our government and our islands into what they are now. And take the time to show gratitude for the benefits we are reaping because of the Covenant.

From our families to yours, may you have a safe and happy Covenant Day!
