Mensaje del Sr Embajador con motivo de un nuevo aniversario del 25 de agosto
Es esta oportunidad propicia para recordar con renovado orgullo los hechos que tuvieron lugar en el año 1825 y sus protagonistas.
Los esfuerzos de aquellos orientales por darnos una patria libre dieron como resultado que hoy tengamos un país con altos valores que nos han caracterizado desde esa fecha: tradición democrática, soberanía e identidad nacional.
Todos los uruguayos tenemos el compromiso de mantener, hacer prevalecer y respetar estos caros principios allí donde nos encontremos.
Para aquellos que como nosotros, por una razón u otra, formamos parte de la Patria Peregrina es motivo de profundo orgullo poder manifestar esos valores, porque al hacerlo trasmitimos lo más preciado de nuestra esencia nacional.
Al tiempo de agradecer vuestra permanente colaboración en la tarea que nos une, en nombre de la Embajada del Uruguay en Washington, les envío mi más cálido saludo.
