After a two-day trip to Crete full of intense moments, the journey returned to Athens for its culmination, the Isaac-Solomou Memorial Initiative, which has been in Greece since July 1, to walk on historical continuity paths, based on the struggle of memory against oblivion and carrying the insistence for justice of the sacrifices of Tassos and Solomos.
As the Greek state is the sponsor of Anastasia, the Isaac family was received by the Secretary General of the Presidency of the Hellenic Republic, Ambassador Papadopoulos. Afterwards, a delegation of motorcyclists was hosted at the camp of the Presidential Guard, the famous Evzoni, where the responsible officers explained the symbolism of the uniform of Evzonas and convey to the visitors the spirit of this historic unit.
"At noon the big moment arrives. With the engines roaring, the motorcyclists face the Unknown Soldier in the flagged Syntagma Square and bow reverently. The heroic lady Tassoula lays a wreath at the most important monument of Hellenism, expressing respect to those who fell for the freedom of the homeland. "An empty bed is said to be covered with invisibles." "As in 2016, the path to freedom passes through the Unknown Soldier to renew the oath of the struggle until the end", it is added in the announcement.
A touching moment when they sang "The song of the swallow", written for the daughter of Tassos Isaac, Anastasia.
The presence of the motorcyclists in the "small town" is completed with a visit to the restored house of the legendary Macedonian warrior, Pavlos Melas, who selflessly left his family to fight for our Macedonia. With so many standards, this people is not going to be lost.
"The memory journey was made precisely to emphasize that as long as there are occupied homelands and unjust heroes, some will continue to fight for freedom and dignity. For Tassos, Solomos, the fallen of 1974, the fighters of EOKA, for the living, but also for the future Greeks wherever they land ", the announcement concludes.
