I would like to thank you for the exceptional honor to be selected to receive ‘Τhe Distinguished Person of the Year’ award.

This highly honorary award gives me the opportunity to express once again my gratitude for the Greek Community which stands through time as a “bridge” connecting the principles, the values and the visions of Hellenism.

At this unfortunate time of economic and social crisis, the Greek Community stands as a bright beacon leading the way towards our national regeneration and recovery.

The Greek Community is Hellas’s heart, a strongly beating heart.

We need to unite our efforts in order to create a New Hellas, a strong and competitive New Hellas which can guarantee prosperity and equality of rights and opportunities to all, thus creating the future our children deserve.

Thanks for reading Hellenic News of America

Finally I would like to congratulate you for organizing this exceptional event but more specifically for your contribution to the Greek Community through your newspaper Hellenic News of America which has become a cultural reference for all Greeks living in the U.S.A

Θα ήθελα να σας ευχαριστήσω θερμά για την εξαιρετική τιμή να με βραβεύσετε ως «Διακεκριμένο Πρόσωπο της Χρονιάς».

Με την παρούσα, ιδιαίτερα τιμητική, για εμένα βράβευση μου δίνετε την ευκαιρία να εκφράσω για πολλοστή φορά τις ευχαριστίες μου απέναντι στον Απόδημο Ελληνισμό  που διαχρονικά αποτελεί την γέφυρα που συνδέει τις αρχές, τις αξίες, και τα οράματα του Ελληνισμού.

Σε αυτή την δύσκολη οικονομική και κοινωνική συγκυρία, η Ελληνική Ομογένεια αποτελεί το φωτεινό φάρο στην πορεία προς την Εθνική Αναγέννηση και Αναδημιουργία. Η Ελληνική Ομογένεια είναι η καρδιά της Ελλάδας και χτυπάει δυνατά.

Όλοι μαζί θα συμβάλουμε στην προσπάθεια που διεξάγεται για την δημιουργία μιας Νέας Ελλάδας, ισχυρής και ανταγωνιστικής που θα διασφαλίζει σε όλους τους απανταχού Έλληνες ισονομία, ευημερία, ίσα δικαιώματα και ευκαιρίες για την εξασφάλιση του μέλλοντος που επιθυμούμε για τα παιδιά μας.

Τέλος θα ήθελα να σας συγχαρώ για την διοργάνωση αυτής της εξαιρετικής εκδήλωσης και συνολικά για όλη την προσφορά σας μέσω της εφημερίδας σας Hellenic News of America, που αποτελεί πολιτιστικό σημείο αναφοράς για όλους τους Έλληνες της διασποράς.
