Today is Greek Independence Day, and I just wanted to post something to commemorate this special occasion.
Parade participants portraying Greek Evzones, the ceremonial Greek National Guard.
The Greek Evzones have purely ceremonial duties. The
best-known is the symbolic guarding of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
in Syntagma Square. There are also guards at the Presidential Mansion and at the gate of the barracks of the Presidential Guard.
