Proclamation 10907 of March 24, 2025
Greek Independence Day: A National Day of
Celebration of Greek and American Democracy, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
On March 25, 1821, fueled by the rallying cry,
``Freedom or Death,'' Greek revolutionaries began a war
for independence against the Ottoman Empire. The hard-
fought victory established a sovereign Greek state and
a national homeland for Greece. On the 204th
anniversary of Greek Independence Day, we honor this
heroic fight for freedom, and the enduring democratic
ideals that continue to inspire the world.
America is inextricably tied to both ancient and modern
Greece. We are tethered by history and tradition, the
struggle for self-governance, emancipation, and
rebirth. Our Founding Fathers drew inspiration from
Greek philosophers and statesmen to form the tenets of
our new Republic, now enshrined in our Constitution.
Our national character has been shaped, in part, by the
indelible impact of Greek influence in the arts and
architecture, language and literature, and academia and
military tradition. Today, across the United States,
generations of Greek Americans infuse our neighborhoods
and communities with a rich legacy of cultural
traditions, and a heritage of family, faith,
hospitality, and civic responsibility.
Greece is one of our Nation's oldest friends, strategic
partners, and a valued NATO ally. We appreciate the
support of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in our
economic and diplomatic partnership as we forge
opportunities for collaboration in key sectors
including energy, science, technology, shipping,
logistics, and defense. The permanent presence of naval
forces in Souda Bay and bilateral training events
enhance warfighting capabilities and reflect our mutual
commitment to joint military cooperation as a
cornerstone of security and stability in Europe.
On this day, we pause to celebrate Hellenic
independence, people of Greek heritage worldwide, and
the abiding kinship of likeminded nations who cherish
democracy, patriotism, prosperity, and peace.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim March 25, 2025, as
Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration
of Greek and American Democracy. I call upon the people
of the United States to observe this day with
appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
