Liberation Day (February 26) celebrates
the liberation of Kuwait by a multi-national force from seven months
of traumatic Iraqi occupation on February 26, 1991. Each year the
day is marked with public gatherings and get-togethers. However,
the day is also tinged with sadness as Kuwait remembers and honours
the martyrs who lost their lives fighting Iraqi oppression and the
605 Prisoners of War still held captive in Iraqi jails.
