This Senate resolution celebrates the 204th anniversary of Greek independence on March 25, 2025, and honors the shared democratic values between Greece and the United States. The resolution recognizes Greece's historical contributions to democracy, dating back to ancient Greece, and acknowledges how Greek political philosophy influenced America's founding fathers in creating the U.S. democratic system. It highlights the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries, including Greece's role as a NATO ally since 1952, their cooperation on defense and energy security, and Greece's commitment to international peacekeeping efforts. The resolution also commends the Greek-American community for strengthening ties between the nations and notes Greece's importance as a strategic partner in the Eastern Mediterranean region. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not involve any funding or create new programs, but serves to formally express the Senate's support for the U.S.-Greece relationship and democratic principles.
