Those ties connecting the United States and Greece today have historic roots. Just as our Founding Fathers looked to Greece for inspiration in developing our democratic form of government. the Greeks looked to our own revolution when they fought for their independence in the 1820s. and adopted our Declaration of Independence as their own. Our country continues to be enriched by our ties with Greece. by the Greeks who emigrated to the United States. and by their children and grandchildren. I was pleased to be a cosponsor of the resolution designating this day as Greek Independence Day. and I am equally as pleased to have the opportunity to honor our Greek and GreekAmerican friends today.
