INTRODUCTION

As from Robert Jordan Says:

“The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.”
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

This ceremony freezes the precious moment in time, brings us back the memories of yesterday when we had all the big
and small sacrifices and when we were about to give up but we didn’t, then allows us a glimpse of the reality that awaits
