On February 24, 1918, the Estonian Salvation Committee proclaimed Estonia<br />
to be an independent democratic republic in the ‘Manifesto to the Peoples<br />
of Estonia.’ This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Republic of<br />
Estonia. During the national anniversary week, key events celebrating the<br />
independence of Estonia will take place all over the country. On February<br />
24, 2018, the Independence Day military parade will take place in Tallinn,<br />
Estonia. Overall, more than 1,100 people and almost 100 pieces of<br />
equipment will participate -- including U.S. personnel and equipment from<br />
permanent and rotational units assigned to U.S. European Command.
