Monument to the War of Independence in Emmu

The War of Independence memorial at Mihkli in the Pärnu County countryside was unveiled on 30 May 1926. In the 1950s, fearing that it would be smashed like so many others, local people secretly buried it in the ground. It lay hidden for over thirty years. In June 1988 it was raised again, and on 26 June 1988 it was reopened, as the national revival was just beginning.

Eesti keeles

Pärnumaal Mihkli külas asuv Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 30. mail 1926. 1950. aastatel, kartes, et sammas lõhutakse nagu paljud teised, matsid kohalikud selle salaja maa sisse. Üle kolmekümne aasta oli see peidus. 1988. aasta juunis tõsteti sammas üles ja 26. juunil 1988 avati see uuesti, kui rahvuslik ärkamine alles algas.
