OXI Day Foundation in Washington

Neo Magazine, November 2011

Modern history’s most consequential, yet forgotten, David vs. Goliath story — Greece’s role in the defeat of Adolph Hitler and preservation of freedom and democracy — took a major step into public consciousness this past October in the nation’s capital. The Washington Oxi Day Foundation’s first annual celebration, October 27-28, 2011, taught hundreds of high-level national and international policy makers and opinion leaders this relatively recent epic page in Greece’s history. It did so through the words of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt and through the vocal advocacy of current day national and international leaders, such as: Joe Biden, Vice President of the United States, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman, House Foreign Affairs Committee, Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House and current House Minority Leader, Chris Matthews, leading television personality and Republican Presidential nominee Carl Gershman, President, National Endowment for Democracy.

Dozens of Washington policy makers and opinion leaders participated in Foundation events that included a National WWII Memorial ceremony, Four Seasons Hotel black tie dinner, American University lecture and Tomb of the Unknowns wreath-laying at Arlington National Cemetery.
