6.12.1917 Finland was "born".

Today is our Independence Day.

Big Thanks to our Veterans of this.

Many people outside Finland says that Finnish language is one of most difficult language to learn.

But I am VERY thankful to our veterans that we dont speak russian or other languages here now...

Few tens of pictures in this link tells little why here is nice to live.

337000 km2 area and only 5 million people. Lot of space.

About 1300 km (800 miles) frontier with Russian.But very good blats or terms now between presidents and citizens also on this time.

Every man must go to Army here in Finland and now many woman are going to Army also (not must case to womans).
It takes 8-11 months and then later military refreshers.

BR, Timo
