National Day is a time for Singaporeans to come together, both locally and abroad, to celebrate our nation's growth and to reflect on the nation's achievements and challenges for the future. 2006 will mark 41 years of independence and Singapore aims to remake itself into a vibrant cosmopolitan city and an international hub—a city that not only offers numerous opportunities for success but also a place where Singaporeans live, work and play, a place where they are proud to call home. In line with this aspiration, this year's National Day Parade 2006 theme is "Our Global City, Our Home" and this set of commemorative stamps reflects this national vision.
