Happy Birthday, Alexander!

Today, on July 20th we have the opportunity to wish Alexander the Great a Happy Birthday!

Although born in the year 356 BC, it is not so strange as it may appear to give him our best wishes as he still lives on in the memories of so many people, century after century.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
