Statement by Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley - Senior Citizens’ Month 2026 Opening and Declaration Ceremony
Pleasant Virgin Islands morning to everyone. I am Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley, Minister for Health and Social Development. It’s truly a pleasure to be here with you today. I have to say, standing in front of a group with this much life experience is a little intimidating. After all, you’ve seen trends come and go… and come back again! Some of you probably look at what’s “new” today and think, “We already did that… just with better music.” Jokes aside, what I see in this room is something incredibly special. I see strength, I see resilience, I see people who have lived through moments that shaped the world—and still found ways to laugh, love, and keep going.
