Mr. Mayor,
On behalf of the Greek-American Community of the United States of America, and all those who love Greece, I want to thank you and the Citizens of Nashville for this special commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Greek Revolution.
Standing here, in front of the only full-scale replica of the Parthenon in the world, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride. That here in this City – the heartland of America – such appreciation and love for Greece, expressed so manifestly, is deeply moving and inspiring.
Nashville has been called the “Athens of the South,” and it has certainly earned that designation –
