The photo, in and of itself, is amazing too. Very iconic.

This hits home, my dad was in the resistance during the early 70's and participated in the Athens student uprising. He always tells me about how he saw tanks in the streets and some family let him in their house gave him water to clean his face from the tear gas.

I think he still has the stickers he used to put around the city somewhere.

In 1941, when he was 19, he torn down Nazi swastika from Acropolis in Athens.
