“National Day of Remembrance” of the terrorist attack on 9/11

We must never forget the great tragedy suffered on this day 21 years ago when terrorists hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center. This dark day in American history witnessed almost 3000 people killed that included the destruction of the historic St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and the deaths of 39 Greek Americans!
This year, however, also is a time of renewal of our faith and commitment when on July 4th, we joined with Archbishop Elpidophoros in the dedication of the beautiful “St. Nicholas National Shrine” as a symbol of peace and reflection for all Greek Orthodox Americans.

The Hellenic American Council continues to be dedicated to this spirit of peace and righteousness as we honor the memory of those lost during this tragedy. We further stand committed to working on strengthening United States and Greece relations to promote peace through strength & common purpose!

Dr. James F. Dimitriou
President & Chairman
