Celebrating the USA’s Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States of America:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

From the Declaration of Independence, unanimously adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.

By rejecting monarchy and proclaiming revolutionary ideals of equality, natural rights, and government by consent, the Declaration of Independence laid the bedrock for the first enduring constitutional republic born of the Enlightenment. May the original name of France’s magnificent centennial gift to the United States remain true for another 250 years:

La Liberté éclairant le monde

My first visit to the White House was 50 years ago, when I toured Washington with my parents during the Bicentennial celebrations. I remember the tour guide explaining that “the People’s House is just a beautiful house, not a palace,” but it sure seemed like a palace to me! Half a century later, it still takes my breath away.

We are so blessed to have the White House opened to the Greek-American community every year to commemorate Greek Independence Day. I lack words to express my gratitude for being included in that commemoration.

Happy 205th Birthday to Greece!
Happy 250th Birthday to the USA!

Long live Greece! God Bless America!
Ζήτω η Ελλάς! Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος!

I’m grateful to have been among the Greek Orthodox pilgrims present as His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew jointly commemorated the 1700th Anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council (325 AD) of Nicaea, at which the Nicene Creed was adopted by the Church.

Led by His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America @archbishopelpidophoros and our Most Reverend Metropolitans, the Members of the Holy Eparchial Synod, the pilgrimage was a journey of profound spiritual reflection.

My thanks to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Order of Saint Andrew - Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate for this extraordinary opportunity. @goarch @ecumenical.patriarch @archonsecumenicalpatriarchate taken in Istanbul, Turkey by @verraslaw

It was an honor to be recognized at the 8th Global Conference of Hellenes Abroad “His Majesty the Greek Immigrant” Awards Gala. I was humbled to be included among so many accomplished diaspora Greeks from around the world, including my fellow American honoree, Eleni Bousis, an extraordinary philanthropist with whom I’m privileged to serve on the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine board of trustees. Thank you to former honoree Dean Trantalis for being there and to Mary Rissaki and her team for an enchanted evening of Cretan food and culture by the sea. taken in Iraklion/Heraklion, Crete by @verraslaw
