Today marks the 190th year of Greece declaring their independence from the Ottoman Empire after the 11 year Greek Revolution. Greece won the war and was able to officially declare independence on March 25, 1821.Today is celebrated by Greeks living all over the world, including many celebrations throughout America. Hillary Clinton announced earlier today that March 25th would now be known in America as “National Day of Greek and American Democracy,” to honor Greece for their efforts to sustain peace around the world and its effectiveness in running a democracy.
There are many celebrations in cities all over the US, including Detroit, Miami, and Washington D.C., but the largest and most widely attended of these events will take place in New York, just a few blocks from the offices of StanaCard.
