Congressman Bilirakis Commemorates Oxi Day

"Today we celebrate the fact that 81 years ago Greece stood up against the powers of evil by replying "OXI!" or "NO!" to Fascist subjugation. The Greek people could not idly stand by and allow the evils of Fascism to consume Europe. Greece decided to fight for democracy, liberty, and justice, or otherwise see these treasured virtues—originally fostered in Ancient Greece—extinguished under the darkness of Fascism. As Greek Americans, we remember the bravery of our fellow Greeks and we remain committed to protecting these same values," said Congressman Bilirakis.
