jkas Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hello It looks like Finnish War Veteran's Union Medal of Merit. But it isn't. June 1994 those estonian war veterans, who were fighting in Finland (Finnish War Veran's Unions sub organisation) had a jubilee meeting. About 1000 Estonian veterans attended in the jubilee meeting and they had opportunity to buy a medal. There is also 15 silvered medals, witch was given as a thanks/gift those finnish people who were helped meeting arragements. One was given former Finlands minister of defence, Mrs Elisabeth Rehn. Who had a speech in the meeting. The state of Finland pays estonian veterans a little front veterans' supplement about 45e/month the same as the finnish veteran can get. The idea of the medal came from finnish Tapio Saarni (RIP) The text in the reverse is something like: For Freedom of Finland and Pride of Estonia. So the medal is maybe ESTONIAN MEDAL, even it looks like finnish one. Regards J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
