    Independence Day of Finland

    Yes! It's today! 88th Independence Day of Finland! Big celebrations again. And as a soldier I'm working of course. Already carried the regiment flag when laying flowers on grave of Knight of the Mannerheim Cross nr. 94. SrLtn Toivo Korte. I'll post pictures when I get one.

    Finland...

    I have always admired the people of Finland, especially after reading "A Frozen Hell" byWilliam Trotter, about the Winter War between Finland and Russia in 1939-1940.

    For those who are unaware of this conflict, here is a site to peruse:

    Long may the Finnish Flag wave!

    Cheers,

    Todd

    That really doesn't look much like your earlier posts. And the "kilt" is too long.
