Congressman
Henry E. Brown, Jr.

As a proud member of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues, I am pleased to announce my support and cosponsorship of legislation marking today as the 188th anniversary of Greek Independence Day.

Greek culture is prominent throughout South Carolina's First District as the Orthodox Churches of both Charleston and Myrtle Beach play a strong role in their respective communities.

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of Greece, the values of democracy and freedom that we both share and their role as a constant ally and friend to the US.

I congratulate Greece on this day and look forward to encouraging our mutually beneficial Greek American friendship in the future.
