Commander Constantine Pananas, my friend Kostas, allow me an also mere mortal … your trips were not recreational journeys, but journeys of faith to the task you sworn…journeys in the vast Hellenic blue.. they were journeys of an eagle above the aegean to protect us! Your long trips to the Hellenic seas brought you closer to us, to your Marianna, your Panagiotis and your little newborn hero that I held today in my arms…he will hear about the legend of his father with his friends but he will never have the opportunity to hug you! 
Take care of us Commander!
