The Oxi Day Awards and prize money recognize one man and one woman who today
exhibit the Oxi Day, David vs. Goliath spirit for freedom and democracy.   

"Oxi," pronounced "oh-he," means "no" in Greek.  Oxi Day recognizes the day
that the Prime Minister of Greece told a representative of the WWII Axis
Forces that Greece would not surrender.  Subsequently Greece: 

*	inspired the world as the first country to stop the Axis horror,
inflicting a wound that was instrumental to Hitler's ultimate defeat; 
*	caused more Nazi fatalities in one day in the Battle of Crete than
had fallen in the previous 15 months' conquest of 11 countries; and 
*	was the only country whose religious leader publicly challenged the
Holocaust during the brutal Nazi occupation of Greece.

"If there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know
which the outcome of World War II would have been." - Winston Churchill

"Historic justice forces me to admit, that of all the enemies that stand
against us, the Greek soldier, above all, fought with the most courage." -
Adolf Hitler

"When the entire world had lost all hope, the Greek people dared to question
the invincibility of the German monster raising against it the proud spirit
of freedom." - Franklin Roosevelt.
