AHEPA Family
Celebrates Greek
Independence Day
at White House
The AHEPA family celebrated the 192nd
Anniversary of Greek Independence at
a White House ceremony on April 18,
2013. President Barack Obama, Vice
President Joseph Biden, Jr. and His
Eminence Archbishop Demetrios provided remarks.
“We are deeply grateful to President
Obama for issuing the proclamation
that calls on the people of the United
States to observe Greek Independence
Day with appropriate ceremonies and
activities,” said Supreme President Dr.
John Grossomanides. “We also thank
the president for expressing his appreciation for the contributions of Greek
Americans that are ‘woven into the
fabric of our national life.’”
The presidential proclamation reflects
on the contributions of Greece to the
world, foremost being democratic principles and ideals that inspired America’s
Founding Fathers. It also describes
Greece as a valued NATO ally.
“Today, we congratulate Greece, a
valued NATO ally, as it commemorates the 192nd anniversary of its independence, and we pledge our continued solidarity as the country works
to rebuild its economy. In the face of
hardship, America stands with the people of Greece, confident they can meet
the challenges of the 21st century while
upholding their ancient ideals,” the
proclamation states.
Several AHEPA family leaders
accompanied Supreme President Dr.
Grossomanides to the ceremony,
including: Daughters of Penelope
Grand President Joanne Saltas, Sons
