Remembering

6/12/2017

The day marked the 100th anniversary of his country. While for others it was a time for celebrations, for Erik it was a time for remembrance and gratitude. He had returned to Finland three days prior, spending the majority of the 4th roaming around his hometown, reminiscing of all the times he had spent there as well as visiting a few relatives and family members. On the 5th he spent the day attending various festivals and landmarks around the country, ending at the southern coast of the country. On the day of the anniversary, he put on his old army uniform and made his way to the cemetery where his comrades who had fallen during the attack on the base were buried many years ago. Erik paid respect to each and every victim of the attack as well as the soldiers who fought and died in the many conflicts before..
