This topic is important because it shows the kind of image that the next president should portray and the mark he or she should leave for the next generation. Our last president…

    I think that if there is an event that happened that is very significant, it should always be remembered in some way.

This why we celebrate the 4th of July and are proud of it, and wouldn’t want it to just pass by as any other day. The same way is for the Greek and their tragedies. The tough times that the Greek have gone through is something that was intense, and created a lot of effect on them.…
