Indeed. when their struggle of the Greeks ended in triumph. they chose our Constitution as a model on which to structure their own. As Americans. we should be grateful for the opportunity to share our democracy with the Greeks after inheriting it from them. We also take this occasion to celebrate the many contributions of Americans of Greek descent to our Nation and salute them for their many achievements. In the early years of this century our Nation was blessed by the wave of emigration from Greece. The decendants of these immigrants have become leaders In every field of human endeavor. and have made GreekAmericans among the most successful ethnic groups in the United States. Mr. Speaker.
