The Greek War For Independence of 1821 that we celebrate today on March 25th was the first war of independence of that era to take place under non-Christian rule. It required an extraordinary focus on the preservation of Hellenism as well as long-term planning and professional-level execution.

Last evening the United States Senate passed by unanimous consent a resolution highlighting the many bonds between the US and Greece and celebrating the 193rd anniversary of the independence of Greece. This is the 29th consecutive year that such legislation has passed the US Senate.
