Suomalaiset sankarit Amerikkaa rakentamassa
Finns came on Kalmar Nyckel to New Sweden. Since then they have made a lasting contributions to U.S. history, culture, and society. John Morton cast the final vote and was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The establishment of the Sitka Lutheran Church by Arvid Adolf Etholén and Pastor Uno Cygnaeus started the first Protestant church on the U.S. West Coast; Miners came from Ruija to Hancock and established the Suomi Opisto, later Finlandia University; Finns have been building America in every possible profession: mining, logging, farming, education, politics, and more; and finally created an unbelievably lively community in Florida–not only for retirement but as a business and cultural center.
