Now. as. has been the case for most of Lithuanian history. the country is occupied. ruled from abroad. and denied its freedom. There are strong reasons why America should champion the cause of Lithuania. During the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. many Lithuanians sought the dream of American life and emigrated to this country. Their contribution to the United States was and continues to be substantial. And though all citizens of Lithuanian background are fully assimilated into our ways. their customs still thrive as a reminder of this countrys rich immigrant legacy. So it is with many other countries now behind the Iron Curtain. Our commitment to Lithuania may thus symbolize our refusal to accept an Eastern Europe in bondage.
