Greek Independence Remembered at Pennsylvania Capitol

On March 13, eight members of the local AHEPA Chapter #64 of Harrisbug, PA along with various representatives embarked on a visit to the State Capitol to celebrate the 197th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence which started on March 25th, 1821. This group which included a young man Angelos Giannaris who was dressed as an “evzone” (a Greek soldier) enjoyed the opportunity to be welcomed by Senator Mike Regan representing the State government of PA at the Capitol. Representatives Sheryl Delozier, Ryan Mackenzie, and Greg Rothman joined the delegation to commemorate Greek Independence Day. The resolution was then read aloud to all in attendance including special guests Lt. Colonel Vasileios Bobouzis of the Hellenic Army, along with local Ahepan special guests which included Event Coordinator Dr. Michael Billys and Protopsalti Tom Paparoidamis.
