Buffeted from either side by the Nazis and the Soviet Communists. the small Lithuanian nation could do little to protect Itself. When the war ended the Communists were in firm control and freedom had been driven from this once happy land. Thousands of Lithuanians were deported by the Soviet tyrants to death or some other dismal fate in the grim expanses of Siberia. Today we recall with sorrow the sad plight of the Lithuanian people. but we remember with hope that other glorious day when they won their independence. The remembrance of that happy event on this melancholy occasion inspires in us faith for the future of our Lithuanian friends.
