Western Greece is ablaze from end to end; Patras and Chios are under a ring of fire. The same is true for our fellow human beings in neighboring countries. Our compatriots are living the nightmare of total loss and destruction. Homes, property, crops, and our precious natural environment are being consumed by the flames. Firefighters and volunteers are fighting an unequal but heroic battle. Now is the time for all of us to stand—by every means—beside those who are suffering and in anguish. Our thoughts, our hearts, and our solidarity are with them.
