In 1940. on June 15. Lithuania and Its neighbors on the Baltic Sea were forcedly annexed by the Soviet Union. Subsequently. thousands of Lithuanian citizens were deported to Siberian concentration camps for no other reason than that they wanted to remain Lithuanian. Most Americans living today cannot remember the annexation of Lithuania. and I am sure that some believe that It occurred so long ago we should let the affair pass into history. But I do remember. and If liberty and justice have any meaning for us as a nation. we must not let the fate of the captive nations become nothing more than a footnote to history.
