I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation in advance to all who will remember Lithuania on her Independence Day. I also would like to share with you the most recent news from Lithuania. The Russian occupation forces have not softened. Forcible Russification continues. Greater pressure upon teachers. officials. and judges. to be propagandists for godless atheism. is stressed. Those practicing their faith are constantly persecuted. Lithuanian youth is still being drafted for labor in Siberia. Including survivors of the first mass deportations. these new transportees comprise approximately 130.000 forcibly exiled from their homeland. The cross which the Lithuanian nation and country is bearing is an onerous one. The nation does not stop yearning for freedom.
