Monument to the War of Independence in Kannastiku
The War of Independence memorial in Viru-Jaagupi cemetery at Kannastiku was unveiled on 24 June 1923. In autumn 1940, as the Soviet regime began tearing such monuments down, local people hid it. In summer 1941 they brought it back to its old place, but in 1945 it was blown up. On 24 June 1990, 67 years to the day after the first unveiling, an exact copy was unveiled on the same spot, and the surviving pieces of the old monument are kept in the same cemetery.

Kannastiku külas Viru-Jaagupi kalmistul asuv Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 24. juunil 1923. 1940. aasta sügisel, kui nõukogude võim hakkas selliseid sambaid maha võtma, peitsid kohalikud elanikud selle ära. 1941. aasta suvel viidi sammas oma kohale tagasi, kuid 1945. aastal see õhiti. 24. juunil 1990, täpselt 67 aastat pärast esimest avamist, avati samas kohas täpne koopia ning vana samba säilinud osad on samal kalmistul alles.
