Greeks will never forget those heros that fight like tigers in the most important battle that change the history of war in Crete.

My Lolo was there Kuru Waaka coporal in the 28th maori battalion from Whakarewarewa Rotorua. He came home from war and then battled for maori rights language and land against the crown until his death. I lived in his house when i was young and his library and storys were full of adventures and histroy he was a super hero in the flesh for me as a kid. To this day whenever i need strength in this world i go down to our family house named Tionga down whakarewarewa and feel that energy and mana with his blood in my viens. My kids carry the names Kuru and Tionga (2 brothers) and will carry that strength through their lives. They teach us to always fight if it means protecting your way of life fight all enemy fight the systems controling and stealing from us and fight against all things that take away your mana and leave you with nothing like the meth and alcohol destroying our people making them weak and useless in society..

Fuck, when they they recolour the images it hits you - the illusion of time is pulled aside and you see how young and beautiful they were.

As a Kiwi, this makes me sick. How could they treat these heroes like this? I am full of respect for the Maori people and the 28th!
