President Trump’s Declaration on Greek Independence Day
“On March 25, 1821, inspired by ‘Freedom or Death’, the Greek revolutionaries began the war of independence against the Ottoman Empire.
The cruel victorious struggle led to the founding of a sovereign Greek state and a national homeland for Greece. On the 204th anniversary of the day of Greek independence, we honor the heroic struggle for freedom and the constant democratic ideals that continue to inspire the world.
America is inextricably tied to both ancient and modern Greece. History and tradition, the struggle for self -determination, emancipation and regeneration are bound by us. The Fathers of the Republic were inspired by the Greek philosophers and politicians to shape the doctrines of our new democracy, now guaranteed in our Constitution. Our national character has been partially shaped by the indelible influence of Greek influence on arts and architecture, language and literature, as well as academic and military tradition.
Today, in all the United States, generations of Greek Americans are enriching our neighborhoods and communities with a rich cultural heritage of traditions based on family, faith, hospitality and responsibility of the citizen.
Greece is one of the oldest friends and strategic partners of our nation, as well as a valuable ally in NATO. We appreciate the support of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in our economic and diplomatic cooperation, as we create opportunities for cooperation in key areas such as energy, science, technology, shipping, supply chain and defense. The permanent presence of naval forces in the Gulf of Souda and bilateral educational exercises enhance war skills and reflect our mutual commitment to joint military cooperation as a cornerstone of security and stability in Europe.
On this day, we celebrate Greek independence, the people who share the Greek heritage around the world, and the constant friendship between our like -minded nations who love democracy, patriotism, prosperity and peace.
Now, I, Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, under the power entrusted to me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I declare hereby on March 25, 2025, as the Day of Greek Independence: I call on the people of the United States to honor this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. “
