AHEPA honored the memory of fallen Greek-Americans
AHEPA, the leading organization of Greek Americans, on Saturday, Sunday and last Monday, May 27, organized events of honor and memory throughout the US for Greek Americans and their fellow Americans who sacrificed their lives in defense of freedom and Democracy. On Saturday, May 25, dozens of AHEPA officers and members gathered at the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and laid a wreath at the monument to the Unknown Soldier and placed flowers at the graves of the 600 Greek-Americans who rest in that Cemetery. According to Ahepa's announcement, this is an annual tradition that began in 1949.
