This wonderful man had a chance to photograph the welcoming home ceremonies for his regiment (he was in the advance party). I just included the link to the forum (you dont' have to be a member for this particular section).
Please be aware that these pictures are very emotional.

Those were amazing pictures. Thank you. 
Watching those pics made me wonder what it was like when my grandfather and his troops came back home back in 1944...
Naturally the situation back then was different. They were in war because they didn't have any option. It wasn't a choice to any of them. They had to go to risk their lives for their country. Finland would have lots its precious independence if they didn't fight for it. We lost lot of young men back then.
Only handful of those heroes are still with us. Part of me is scared that what will happen when they're all gone and the younger generations won't see them on Independence Day Ball held at the Presidental Palace and cannot be truly reminded of their history. It's been a long time since the war, so it's easy for the youngsters to forget the true meaning of our Indepence Day. Many youngs already show signs of taking it for granded and I think that it's unfourtunate.
Aguess I got caught back thinking about Finland once again... Can't help it. Sorry about that.

It's funny, he *asked* for critiques on his pictures. That particular thread is up 4 pages now and not one person has offered a *critique*. Like someone said, the pictures he had taken were *real* photojournalism.

Beautiful pictures and beautiful composition as well.
They need a venu like a local paper section or magazine.
I really loved that these got posted.

Just for historical accuracy, Finland was a Nazi ally and fought with them during WWII. Sorry about that.

Just for historical accuracy as you say. Finland had NO choice but to ally with the Germans. Russia was making a massive effort to overtake Finland and subjugate it to Russian rule. Finland wanted no part of this and asked Sweden, France and the United Kingdom for military support by regular troops. The Finnish govt/people were literally forced into signing the Moscow Peace Treaty of 1940. The Soviets took huge chunks of Finland for their own use. For better or for worse, the harsh terms made the Finns inclined to seek support from Germany, and made many Finns regard a revanche as justified. In the end, this might have been a necessary condition for Finland's survival in the World War.
So....read and realize that Finland felt that it had no choice in this matter. Who it thought were allies weren't and the Finnish people thought that allying with Germany was the only way to get out from under Russian control.

Thanks for clearing that up about Finland being an ally of Nazi Germany...I'm sure that your explanaition brings comfort to the 6 million Jews and approximately 50 million Russians, not to mention the other several million Allies who fought and died against the Nazis and their allies in WWII. I guess that the end justifies the means, Delta-especially since the Finns had "no choice" but to ally with Hitler and friends. The Brits could have done the same thing but instead they fought-how silly of them!

CHTom,
When you learn your history a bit better, come back and we'll debate it on another thread. Until then, be a nice fella and read a few more history books.
Sanna,
Finland has a lot to be proud of during WW II and their treatment of the Finnish Jews.

Actually my daddy was a nice gentlemen who knew better than to argue with his betters, much better mannered than some people on this board. *Yo*, How old are you? Not only do you need history lessons, it would be wise for you to take a few English lessons and learn to speak properly.

Equal to what? Perhaps a first grader? Oh wait, "yo mama" and "yo daddy" is more commonly used by fifth graders isn't it? When you grow up and you can have a discussion with your intellectual equals without resorting to puerile comments and behavior, please come back.
Nevermind, just go away. I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Ok just 1 stupid Question!
Exactly what the he11 did you try to accomplish with that crap CHTom?
Ok 2 and a comment.
And why did you feel you should attack people trying to show something and portray something that touched there hearts?
If you feel the need to attack people go do it on, or at a thread that isnt one that is trying to be positive. That was totally unprovoked and at best childish. You must really be crying out for attention to act in that manner. I am sorry for you and your loss, but if you like someone may have a spare pair to lend to you.
