Independence Day

This is tradition since 1917, each house is supposed to light 2 candles in each window. Today all the public houses and offices have lights on and in the military graveyard candles are lighten. Those boys who gave their life to keep Finland free were so young.In my hometown I could read from stones that so many were 18 only.. What a waiste. We are very respecful for them to live in free country still today..
