I'm from Queens, so I was glad to hear that they rose to the occasion. Queens is one of the most culturally rich boroughs in New York. I hope they find things ok when they get back to Greece. Hope Greece is able to find some type of a solution to their complex financial difficulties. The situation they are in could equally impact multiple nations.
Well, happy fourth of July everyone. And God bless America!
