Putrescine 11 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Almost knuckles, but not quite. We didn't get our independence from sweden until 1905. We've been celebrating this day since 1814. It's when we got our constitution ^^, Link to comment

bhj 24 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 well it all started with the constitution we got in 1814 after a war with Sweden The union thing was just politics and we finally got rid of the Swedish in 1905 (thats the main ting ) a funny sidenote is that now the Swedish comes to us to learn how to celebrate there national day Our National Anthem instrumental song (something most of you have not heard before) Link to comment
toret 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Not nice of them to blast of those cannons early in the morning. But they weren't as loud as they were last year. Those cannons really made me jump last year. Not a nice way to wake up. Anyway, perfect weather today for our national day, YAY Happy celebrations Link to comment
