What is the Goal of Civic Responsibility for the Sons of Pericles?

During the war years (1942-1946), the Sons of Pericles suspended operations. However, they did not remain idle. They assisted the members of the AHEPA in the selling of US war bonds. The Order of AHEPA, with the Sons assistance, sold the most war bonds during the war than any other organization. In 1947, the Sons resumed normal operations.

In 1982, the Sons and Maids, in continued cooperation, held the first biannual Youth Salute. The first honoree was U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes, with Sergeant Shriver (1984), Ike Pappas (1986), and U.S. Congressman George W. Gekas (1988) to follow. In 1990 Chris Economindes, Jr. was awarded the honor, and just recently in 2001 Christos Cotsakos chairman and CEO of E* Trade.
