It is especially important that we do pause to pay tribute to the accomplishments and traditions of Lithuanian Americans and their ancestral homeland. because no people have more firmly rooted dedication to the ideals of freedom and independence. Throughout their history this dedication of the Lithuanian people has shone forth through oppression. subjugation. and occupation of their homeland and in their accomplishments and service to the cause of peace and freedom in their adopted countries. America. especially. has been enriched by the contributions of Lithuanian refugees and immigrants and their descendants. Recently. I received an essay from the LithuanianAmerican Community of the United States of America.
