KUWAIT CITY, Feb 25, (KUNA): His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah Monday congratulated the Kuwaiti people and expatriates on the 52nd National Day and 22nd Liberation Day, praying to Allah Almighty to bestow Kuwait with lasting security, stability, prosperity and love.

His Highness the Amir commended the government and private media for their wide coverage to highlight the national occasions.

Sheikh Sabah recalled the men and women of Kuwait who sacrificed their souls in defending their country, as well as those who served their country, foremost the late Amir Sheikh Jaber AlAhmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the late Father Amir Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah.

Also: KUWAIT CITY: Google Inc, the biggest internet search engine, joined the celebration of Kuwait’s national days by modifying its today’s Google Doodle to represent the Kuwaiti National Flag.

The special logo depicts the Liberation Tower, the second tallest structure in Kuwait that stands at 372 meters high.
