Imagine you have a special toy that you really love playing with. One day, someone tries to take it away from you, but you don't want them to have it because it's yours and you worked hard for it. So, you and your friends team up to protect your toy and make sure it stays with you.
A long time ago, Estonia was like you with its own special things, like its independence and freedom. But some people didn't want Estonia to have those things and tried to take them away. Estonia didn't want to give them up, so it fought back and protected its independence and freedom with the help of its friends.
To remember this important time in history, Estonia made a special medal. A medal is like a shiny coin or badge that people can wear to show they did something important or to remember something special. The medal has pictures on it that remind people of the fight for independence and the people who helped Estonia in its fight.
People who were a part of the fight for Estonia's independence or their families can get this special medal as a way to remember and honor the sacrifices they made to protect Estonia's independence and freedom.
