Happy Independence Day Dowly!
The usual rutines here also, went to raise the flag with my father in the morning. Then to congratulate my grandparents, both veterans of last wars and members of Suojeluskunta and Lotta organisations.
Took a candle to my great grandfathers and uncles graves, both brothers fought in the 1918 war of Independence. Great uncle gave his life for the emerging nation of Finland.
The parade is in Turku, some Navy vessels are docked there also, its on TV2.
