This is my country,
The land that begat me,
These windy spaces
Are surely my own.
And those who toil here
In the sweat of their faces
Are flesh of my flesh
And bone of my bone.

Yes, but sad that it took 65 years.

Indeed but there are many many stories like that out there and only come to
light when someone actually bothers to care :-(
