Dear Mr Havadjias,

I am writing in full support of the concept of a monument and museum at the Ancient side of Olympia, Greece in honor of modern Olympic Athletes. This monument would indeed exemplify the true spirit of Olympism as the modern games return to their homeland in the year 2004. This idea would truly support the ideals of Athens 2004 in maintaining both the purity and classical traditions of the Olympic games.

Both Athens 2004 and the Organisation for Olympic Truce are organisations of profound impact and universal ideals. The Order of Ahepa supports and promotes these ideals as the universal and timeless ideals of both the Ancient and modern Olympic Spirit.

The Ahepa continues to promote these ideals as well as the games themselves as they return to Mother Hellas.

I congratulate you o-n your efforts and your hard work o-n behalf of the finest traditions of the Olympics. I believe that the success of the Athens 2004 and the Olympic Truce endeavors would be greatly assisted by these fine efforts. The monument and the museum would be a lasting tribute to Olympia, Athens 2004 and the Olympic Spirit.

I would be happy to support your efforts in any way that I can to continue this most important project.

Sincerely,

James F. Dimitriou
Supreme President
