From the beginning of their revolution. the Greeks had the support. emotional and material. from a people who had recently gained freedom for themselves: the Americans. Looking back at their triumphant march toward liberty. the American people followed with affinity the Greek pursuit for national independence. Since then. our two nations have remained firmly united by a shared commitment to democratic principles. These ties were reinforced by thousands of Greeks who came to America for greater economic opportunity. These immigrants and their descendants continue to make their own important and unique contributions to Americas economic and political strength. As a nation whose founders were ardent students of the classics. America has drawn its political convictions from the ancient Greek ideals of liberty and citizenship.
