It hasnt been an easy occupation for the Lithuanians. Their attempts to resist absorption by the Soviet Union were ruthlessly suppressed. Thousands were deported and many more thousands were killed. Even in the very recent past. Lithuanian freedom forces were snuffed out and compelled to abandon active resistance. There are in the United States today well over 1 million Americans of Lithuanian descentfine. outstanding. hardstock. and loyal citizens of this great Nation of ours. These are Lithuanians. either of birth. naturalization. or descent who enjoy the freedoms of America. They love and thrive and prosper on this freedom. but still ache in their hearts for the millions of their people living behind the Iron Curtain. They look forward to that great day that is bound to comethe day when Lithuania once more sees its flag waving over a free nation.
