Many freedomloving citizens of Massachusetts and of the United States trace their ancestry to Greece. but. in a larger sense. all of us trace many of our proudest traditions of science. medicine. literature. and democracy to the culture of ancient Greece. Today is the 138th anniversary of the independence of Greece. In their homeland and in many nations which. like ourselves. have received immigrants from Greece. this 138th anniversary is being celebrated today. We are proud to honor this anniversary. for there is no more independent people or greater lovers of freedom than the people represented here by Reverend Kyriakos. I join in expressing the best wishes of all of us to the people of Greece.
