SUOMALAISILLE SOTAVETERAANEILLE -
Kaikille niille, jotka jäivät sotatantereelle, ovat jo poistuneet muuten keskuudestamme ja niille jotka vielä joukossamme elävät;
Teidän suurten uhrauksienne ansiosta me elämme nyt maassa, joka on vauras, vapaa ja itsenäinen ja siten kykenevä kohtaamaan tänä päivänä aivan uudenlaisen miehittäjän.
Osoittamalla samaa päättäväisyyttä, yhtenäisyyttä ja sisua kuin te aikananne, me tulemme lopulta kukistamaan tämänkin vihollisen - ja se on paljolti teidän ansiotanne.KIITOS â
TO THE FINNISH VETERANS OF WAR -
To all those lost in the battleground, those who have already left us because of old age and poor health and those who still are among us;
It is because of your heavy sacrifice we now live in a country that is prospering, independent and free, allowing us to face a very different kind of an invader today.
Showing the same perseverance, commitment, unity and sisu we will eventually conquer this new enemy, too - because you laid the groundwork for us.THANK YOU â
On this very day 75 years ago all acts of war on the Finnish soil were brought to a halt and the time of peace began. In our country, today is the National Veteran´s Day in honour of our wartime heroes.
Due to the current situation with #covid-19 all the festivities and gatherings for the occasion are cancelled.
For our tune for today, I´m happy to post a very special performance - commissioned by the Finnish Government for today - of the Finlandia Hymn by Jean Sibelius. The choral arrangement is by the composer himself and it is conducted here by director cantus Arto Joutsimäki.
A thousand singers from all across the country (plus seventy-five for the occasion) of Virtuaalikuoro ("The Virtual Choir") recorded their parts in home isolation.
Greetings from Finland from all of us at the Team Sintti HQ -
Stay strong, take care, stay safe and look after yourselves and your loved ones â
