Today we celebrate and honor that dedication to freedom and democracy that has been the great gift of Greece to the world for thousands of years. It was that spirit of democracy that inspired the birth and ideals of the American nation. And as democracy flourished in America. it was that spirit that led millions of Greeks to emigrate to this country and enrich it with their many talents. Later. that same spirit enabled Greeks to reestablish democracy in their homeland and safeguard it in the mid20th century. Today we celebrate the blessings of liberty that have been so hard won by both Greece and America. and we especially celebrate the partnership that both our peoples have been able to forge to protect and promote those blessings for ourselves and our posterity.
