Adopting the American Declaration of Independence as their own. the Greeks sealed a bond which has endured between our two peoples ever since. As comrades in arms during the Second World War and partners today in NATO. both Greeks and Americans have stood together in the face of adversity to preserve our fundamental freedoms and democratic ideals. Nearly 1 million Greeks have immigrated to these shores and these children of the cradle of democracy have made America a better place to live. No ethnic group has done more to promote the principles of freedom and individual opportunity than has the GreekAmerican community. I am honored to pay tribute today to the people of Greece. whose culture adds richness and stability to our country and whose commitment to democracy strengthens us all.
