Both my grandfathers took part in WW2, when the Finns fought the Russians and then later the Germans.
I'm really a Finn. At the time when I got my draft papers from Finland, I was in aviation college here in Sweden. The reason I changed nationality was because of college at the time. I could count my service in the airforce as part of the college program.
Well, now I'm actually both a Finn and Swede, but I cheer for Finland when hockey is on. I quess that's what really matters.
