I am pleased to Join with my colleagues in commemorating Greek Independence Day. I am also pleased to note that Senate Joint Resolution 22 marking this day became law earlier this month. Yesterday marks the 172d anniversary of the beginning of the revolution that freed the Greek people from the Ottoman Empire. We welcome and salute this anniversary and look forward to the next 172 years of Greek democracy and prosperity. Our Nation has welcomed and benefited from the rich tradition and ideas brought forth by countless Greek immigrants through the years. GreekAmericans have adapted and succeeded in the United States. Their contributions are numerous and have greatly enriched the American experience.
