      COMMEMORATING THE 190TH ANNIVERSARY OF GREECE'S INDEPENDENCE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 31, 2011

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, today, as we commemorate the 190th 
anniversary of Greece's independence, we not only reaffirm the ties 
that link our two great nations together as allies, but we also honor 
the accomplishments of so many Greek Americans who have made their home 
in New Hampshire and their immeasurable contributions to the Granite 
State.
  One such Greek American who has dedicated his life to enhancing our 
community through public service is my friend, Manchester Mayor Ted 
Gatsas. Throughout his service as an Alderman, State Senator, and 
Mayor, he has dedicated his life to ensuring that we leave a better 
state to our children and grandchildren. Mayor Gatsas embodies the hard 
work, dedication, and fortitude that so many Greek Americans exemplify 
in our community.
  This is a great day for Mayor Ted Gatsas, his wife Cassandra, and all 
Greek Americans who call New Hampshire home. I wish him the very best 
and many more years of service to our state.
