forces to enter Greece or face war; 
Whereas Prime Minister Metaxas answered the Axis force’s 
request for surrender with one word: ‘‘Oxi!’’ or ‘‘No!’’; 
Whereas Italian troops attacked the Greek border hours 
later, marking the beginning of Greece’s involvement in 
World War II; 
Whereas that same morning, thousands of Greek citizens 
took to the streets, chanting ‘‘Oxi!’’, in honor of Prime 
Minister Metaxas’ refusal to relent to fascism; 
Whereas after the world watched the Axis forces overwhelm 
15 countries in less than a year, Greece became the first 
to repel the Axis invasion, leading United States Presi-
dent Franklin Roosevelt to say, ‘‘When the entire world 
had lost all hope, the Greek people dared to question the 
invincibility of the German monster, raising against it in 
the proud spirit of freedom’’; 
Whereas British Prime Minister Winston Churchill observed 
of the Greek people’s courageous actions, ‘‘Hence we will 
not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes 
fight like Greeks’’; 
Whereas Nazi forces had to delay their invasion of Russia to 
intervene in the Greco-Italian War to ensure the ultimate 
surrender of Greece and the Greek people’s spirited re-

Whereas this delay caused the Nazi regime to face a brutal 
Russian winter which hindered their advance and ulti-

would have been different’’; 
Whereas Prime Minister Churchill concluded that ‘‘if there 
had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we 
do not know which the outcome of World War II would 
have been’’; 
Whereas this was a consequential victory for freedom and de-
mocracy in the modern world and, at the time, an act 
that inspired and gave hope to the free world; 
Whereas, since 1942, ‘‘Oxi Day’’ has been celebrated in 
Greece and Cyprus on October 28, commemorating 
Greece’s refusal to submit to fascism; and 
Whereas, October 28, 2019, would be an appropriate date to 
designate as ‘‘Oxi Day’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Oxi Day’’ in 
commemoration of Greece’s refusal to submit to the 
Axis Powers during World War II, noting that this 
resistance likely led to the ultimate defeat of Nazi 
Germany; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States 
to support and participate in appropriate cere-
monies, programs, and other activities in observance 
of such a day of remembrance.
