The country of Greece is recognizing their 191st year of independence in 1821 as of March 25; however, many of the disabled veterans that have fought for their country over the past decades have chosen to sit out on the festivities. They have decided not to participate as a result of the injustices of the government to their people. A statement had been given by the Federation of the Disabled War Victims of Greece that expressed the organization's disagreement with the policies and economic state of Greece at its present time.
This is extremely important because the government has forced the people of their country to protest against such activities of triumph. The people of a country should feel as though their government is supporting them; however, over the past few weeks, as a conclusion from numerous articles, the Greek government is not giving their natives the respect and consideration that they deserve.
