I don't march but will probably attend the one in Toronto. I'm surprised how big it is despite the shrinking Greek population. The amount of hellenophiles from other races make up for the lost numbers. For example, I've come across Germans and Chinese who attend the big Greek events just because they like the festive atmosphere and the food.

I used to march in every anniversary when I was in primary school and highschool

Now I just watch. Today I went to watch the military parade of central Athens for first time ever. I was late and it was very crowdy and difficult find a place with view to the street so I did not catch the whole of it - but it was really impressive. Not like watching it on TV.

US Congressional resolutions cite Greek Independence Day
19 March, 2008

Both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives again unanimously adopted resolutions regarding the anniversary of Greek independence -- as the 187th anniversary will be celebrated on March 25 -- with references to Greece's role in the Balkans.

Resolutions point out several historical bonds that linking Greece and the United States, as well as Athens' consolidating role in Southeastern Europe, its contribution in the Balkans and its role as an energy hub.

According to Robert Wexler, chairman of the subcommittee on Europe as well as the House Judiciary Committee and the House committee on financial services, “Greece is one of the most important US ally”, while he also referred to the need for a reciprocal accepted name for Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). He also referred to Cyprus problem and outlined the need to its resolution.

US Senate Resolution 476 is termed “Designating March 25, 2008 as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy”.

According to the H.Res.1024 the House of Representatives extends warm congratulations and best wishes to the people of Greece as they celebrate the 187th anniversary of the independence of Greece; expresses support for the principles of democratic governance to which the people of Greece are committed; and notes the important role that Greece has played in the wider European region and in the community of nations since gaining its independence 187 years ago.
