ESTONIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY<br />
The Republic of Estonia was founded on 24 February 1918, when the Salvation Committee<br />
(Päästekomitee) declared the independence of the Republic of Estonia. This date was celebrated<br />
as Independence <strong>Day</strong> until the Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1940.<br />
For a short time, the flags of the Estonian SSR and the Republic of Estonia waved side by<br />
side on Toompea Hill in Tallinn. During the Soviet occupation, Independence <strong>Day</strong> was celebrated<br />
in Estonian communities around the world. Every year, the US Secretary of State<br />
honoured this day by sending greetings to the chief diplomatic representative of the Republic<br />
of Estonia to the United States Ernst Jaakson.<br />
On 24th of February 1989, the red flag of Soviet Estonia was replaced by the blue-blackwhite<br />
Estonian national flag on Toompea, and since that time Independence <strong>Day</strong> has been<br />
celebrated once again as a public holiday. This year Estonia will celebrate the 95th anniversary<br />
of the declaration of state independence.<br />
***Väsymys säätää säästöliekin ihmisen sydämen heilurikelloon. Se tuo<br />
tullessaan unen ja levon tarpeellisen rauhan. Siinä on ehdoton elämän säännön<br />
tasapainon vaaka. Päiviin, ja Syntymäpäivien kassakoneeseen. Ja näkemättä,<br />
tyynyllä silmät suljettuna, hupenee terveyden huoltoon. Yksi kolmas osa ihmisen<br />
elon kellon, Sateenkaaren aikaa: - Työ-Huvi-Uni.<br />
