Ένα γλυκό φθινοπωρινό πρωινό, σε μια μαγευτικά ήρεμη και μεγαλοπρεπή φυσική περιοχή που σε φέρνει κοντά στην πραγματικότητα αναπολώντας το παρελθόν, τις θυσίες και προσφορές των ηρώων που έπεσαν προστατεύοντας την ελευθερία, καλύπτοντας το γεγονός για την Hellenic News of America, παραβρέθηκα στην συγκινητική εκδήλωση στις 17 Οκτωβρίου, στην κατάθεση στεφάνου από τον Στρατηγό της Εθνικής Φρουράς της Κύπρου Ηλία Λεοντάρη, στο μνημείο του Άγνωστου Στρατιώτη στο Εθνικό Κοιμητήριο του Άρλινγκτον.
