Madam Speaker. I rise today in acknowledgement of last weeks consideration and passage of H. Res. 228. a bill recognizing the 186th anniversary of the independence of Greece and celebrating Greek and American democracy. I am honored to have supported a bill whose significance is so extensive and which has such enormous personal meaning to me. My paternal grandfather emigrated from Greece in the early 20th century and eamed his citizenship in his new country by fighting in World War I. My father. Socrates. continued the Space familys patriotic tradition by serving in the Marines during the Korean War. After the war. my father attended Ohio States law school. thanks to the GI Bill.
