“We owe to those who came, passed, will come, will pass. Happy Birthday Greece”, the pilot of the F-16 of the “ZEUS” team, Sergeant Major George Sotiriou, said in his message during the great military parade for October 28 in Thessaloniki, causing emotion in the country, conversing, as usual, with the President of Democracy Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
The words of Sminagos Sotiri come from a poem by Kostis Palamas entitled “Opinions, hearts, those Greeks”.
“Through history, in every part of our homeland, on land, sky and sea, the Greek people honor and trust you. Happy birthday” said the president of the Republic for her part.
