My dear Mr. Pantelis:

In behalf of the Greek community of Chicago and the United Hellenic Societies, I take great pleasure in extending to the Hellenic Post of the American Legion and to all of your comrades, the most cordial invitation to lead the parade Sunday, April 9, and to take part in celebrating the anniversary of the Independence of Greece.

In order that this event may be observed in the proper manner, it was decided that all of the nationalities such as: Greeks, Armenians and 2Syrians will participate as Americans, and due respect will be paid to our adopted country and the Stars and Stripes that symbolizes the principles of Democracy and Freedom which are the same principles for which our forefathers fought and of whom you and your comrades are the worthy descendants.

Hoping to have the pleasure of hearing from you, I remain,

Yours very truly,

P. S. Lambros.
