Tikanese and Yasou Y'all We continue our tribute to the Hellenes who were the living embodiment of faith and courage.  Outnumbered and outflanked by a vastly superior force they defied the odds and paid a steep price to live as free men.  Their clarion call "FREEDOM OR DEATH" became the anthem of all people the world over who have sought and continue to seek the liberties that are our inalienable rights as members of all of humanity.  So here then is Part 2 of our tribute to the hero's of the Greek Revolution of 1821.

Tikanese and Yasou Y'all, We open the month of March with a tribute to the Hellenes who stood up against a power that had enslaved them for 4oo years. All of March we will be devoting all or part of our programming to the March 25th revolution.  We are talking about he revolution of 1821 that birthed the modern state of Greece.  As the Greece of today finds itself at a crossroads in its destiny.  The rich legacy it has left behind for historians to mull over and write about is ripe with heroism, self sacrifice and a dogged will to overcome all odds regardless of the obstacles for Freedom was the call and Death the price they were willing to pay to call their home Ellada.    HELLENES ELEFTHERIA H THANATOS!
