Connecticut governor proclaims "Ukrainian-American Day"

HARTFORD, Conn. - Gov. John G. Rowland of Connecticut proclaimed August 24, 2001, as "Ukrainian-American Day" in the Nutmeg State.

Noting Ukraine's "historic action" of August 24, 1991, the governor noted that the transformation of Ukraine in the decade since its declaration of independence "is cause for rejoicing and solemn commemoration among all peoples, but especially people of the United States of America."

He called on "all citizens to join in the celebration, in remembrance of those whose heroic efforts laid the foundation for freedom."
