Whereas since its inception, AHEPA has instilled in its mem-

Whereas AHEPA has done much throughout its history to
foster American patriotism;
Whereas AHEPA has fostered patriotism by raising
$162,000,000 for United States War Bonds during
World War II, for which AHEPA was named an official
Issuing Agent for United States War Bonds by the
United States Treasury Department, an honor that no
other civic organization was able to achieve at the time;
Whereas the members of AHEPA have fostered patriotism by
donating over $400,000 collectively toward the restora-

York, for which AHEPA received special recognition by
the Department of the Interior;
Whereas members of AHEPA and its affiliated organizations,

States to protect American freedom and to preserve those
democratic ideals which are part of the Hellenic legacy;

face and overcome crises, has established National
FamilyDay to focus unified attention on nurturing family
