Monument to the War of Independence in Raasiku

In Raasiku stands the memorial of Harju-Jaani parish to its men who fell in the War of Independence. It was unveiled on 6 October 1935, and stood for just five years: in 1940, in the first year of Soviet rule, it was blown up. An exact copy of the memorial was unveiled on 24 June 1989, during the Singing Revolution. It is a protected national monument.

Eesti keeles

Raasikul seisab Harju-Jaani kihelkonna mälestussammas Vabadussõjas langenud meestele. See avati 6. oktoobril 1935 ja seisis vaid viis aastat: 1940. aastal, nõukogude võimu esimesel aastal, lasti sammas õhku. Mälestussamba täpne koopia avati 24. juunil 1989, laulva revolutsiooni ajal. Sammas on riiklik kultuurimälestis.
