History
Since its inception in 1929, the PAA and its members have been on the front lines of local and international history. We have fought in wars representing the United States and Greece, we have supported philanthropic causes, funded hospitals, helped our youth further their education, and have stood ready to come to the aid of our fellow citizens. Below are just some examples of how Cretans and PAA members have made an impact on the world around us.
