You're in the army now....

My youngest son is now accomplishing his military service and today they vowed to defend their home country etc...
This happened in Suomenlinna and we spent a beautiful day there.
He is not in this shot, but I like the deep shade in this, maybe because I have kind of contradictory feelings with all this. I don't stand for the common military service, but of course I want to support my son in his life....
(wish I could write this in Finnish, I'm not at all sure if I use the right words, hope you understand what I mean)
