Mr. David Miscavige’s 1995 opening presentation, unlike any before it, illustrated the wide range of groups and government officials that honored L. Ron Hubbard throughout the year. This welcoming address, given at the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida, brought into perspective the universal popularity and profound affect L. Ron Hubbard and his technology have on the lives of peoples from all walks of life.

     L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday celebration is the biggest event of the year. Scientologists the world over will be seeing tonight’s celebration at their local churches and missions.

      In fact, people from every continent on earth will be celebrating with us. And this year we have many countries joining us for the first time, all having been newly opened to Scientology since last year’s celebration.

     They include: Serbia, Lesotho, Croatia, Macedonia, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Gabon, Kazakhstan, Mozambique, Lithuania, St. Kitts, Slovakia, Iran, Syria, Tajikistan, St. Lucia and Lebanon.

      Tonight’s event is our most special one, for we get a chance to pay tribute to and thank L. Ron Hubbard for his legacy.

     L. Ron Hubbard has countless friends all over the world. They become his friends when they discover any part of his technology, use it and then lead better and happier lives.
