Throughout her history, Greece has been the birthplace of historical figures that are beyond heroes, they are symbols.

The heroes of the 1821 Revolution should not only be honoured for their historical significance and decisive actions which have shaped the liberties we Greeks enjoy today, but they should also be revered for the qualities they relate to.

When wearing one of those heroes, one is celebrating the freedom they enjoy, they are honouring those who have sacrificed their lives for this freedom and they champion the characteristics those heroes had and stood for.
