Kalimera! Let me start by saying what a great honor it is for me to welcome the U.S. Coast Guard Fast Response Cutters Robert Goldman and Charles Moulthrope to the port of Piraeus.
These two cutters have just completed a historic transatlantic voyage that I think would have made the founder of the U.S. Coast Guard, Alexander Hamilton, very proud, as they proceeded en route to their new homeport in Bahrain where they will operate with the U.S. Navy’s 5
th Fleet.
I want to thank my friend Minister Plakiotakis and Vice Admiral Kliaris for joining me to welcome these U.S. Coast Guard cutters to Greece.
