25.01.2022 On this day 8th October 1838 Theodore Kolokotronis delivered a famous speech at Pnyka, Acropolis Athens to young students, about his part in the struggle & fight for Greek Independence and his hopes for their future. He ended his speech with "It is up to you to equalize and adorn the place where we liberated; and, in order to do that, you must have as the foundation of the state unity, religion, the cultivation of the Throne and prudent freedom. I end my speech. Long live o...ur King Otto! Long live the wise teachers! Long live the Greek Youth! We remember our forefathers struggle for Greek Independence as we begin our Tasmanian journey towards the Bicentennial of Greek Independence in March next year 1821-2021 The link to Kolokotronis speech in Greek on the internet is as follows: https://etetradio.wordpress.com//1838-10-08_kolokotronis-/
