It is this heritage that we. the thousands of GreekAmericans. bring to the United States and share with our fellow citizens. I would like to congratulate Father Jim Chakalos and his wife Eleni Chakalos. who is the groups dance director and codirector Vasilis Brembos in their efforts. Greece has sent some of its brightest to the shores of America to pursue dreams in this the land of opportunity. and I applaud the Hellenic Dancers for giving those Americans of Greek descent a means by which to connect to their past. - Tonight. as I stand before my colleagues. the grandson of Greek immigrants. I am pleased to recognize the investment the Hellenic Dancers have made in the future by preserving the past. and I wish them well as they continue to dance and sing into the future.
