Adam Jacobsson and Michaela Fornesten Lind were asked about their work as Home Guard soldiers.
How do people react when you show up?
”Very positively, I would say. People even applaud. We’re met with great appreciation, it’s fantastic,” said Adam.
Why is this day important?
”It’s very important to show off our work, that we are ordinary people who want to defend this country and what it stands for. Democracy cannot be taken for granted, as we’ve unfortunately been reminded of recently.”
