Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez returns home after surgery. The head of state was welcomed
by a crowd of thousands as he addressed the nation in person on Monday, July 4 for the
first time since traveling to Cuba nearly a month earlier where he underwent emergency
surgery. Arriving on the eve of the country's independence day, he raised the national flag
as he expressed his happiness at being back, while also conveying confidence about regaining
his full health.
We join in heartfelt welcome and congratulations for your return home, Your Excellency! Wishing
you vibrant well being to continue serving the highest aspirations of your gracious fellow
citizens�
