Hi Jeff,

perhaps you mean this? It's a great National day for the Greeks at 28. October.

Ochi Day, Greece and Cyprus - On this day in 1940 Mussolini gave Greece an ultimatum: surrender or be invaded. General Ioannis Metaxas said "Ochi." (That's "no" in Greek.) Since the end of World War II this has been the national day of Greece; parades, music and dancing celebrate Greek independence.

You can find many informations about in the Internet if you surching for "Ochi-day".
