WASHINGTON – President Donald J. Trump Proclaims March 25, 2017, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy
March 24, 2017
By the President of the United States of America.
This year marks the 196th anniversary of Greek independence. Greek and American democracy are forever intertwined.
American patriots built our Republic on the ancient Greeks’ groundbreaking idea that the people should decide their political fates. As a young Nation, only recently free from Great Britain and securing its place on the world stage, America served as a source of inspiration for the revolutionary and freedom-loving Greeks who sought their own independence. Indeed, American citizens stood united with the people of Greece in its “glorious cause” of democracy and freedom, as expressed by Philadelphia’s Franklin Gazette at the time.
